Smith Tue, 16 Mar 2010 13:32:38 +0000 http://conversationalreading.com/?p=7236#comment-9059 Thanks so very much for this. These are the exact sort of things I'm interested in myself, including trying to come to some American version of Sebald's thinking. I don't really have any idea what that would be, but it does seem to be based in a lack, in a constant shifting and dismissing of any sort of collective memory, but maybe not. I'd be very interested if you started rereading some Sebald. I've only read Rings of Saturn, a few times, but own the rest and am going got be getting to them soon, I have a few Walsers left to read beforehand. Thanks so very much for this.

I highly recommend it (it's quite short). Also of interest is Agamben's <i>Remnants of Auschwitz</i>, which is a meditation on the nature of the witness and memory as well, drawing heavily from Levi's work.
