AUTHOR

Sebald, W. G., Köhler, Andrea, Tripp, Jan Peter

SUMMARY

W. G. Sebald and the acclaimed artist Jan Peter Tripp were friends from their schooldays. Unrecounted combines 33 of what Sebald called his "micropoems"-miniatures as unclassifiable as all his works-with 33 lithographs by Tripp. The art and the poems do not explain one another, but rather engage in a kind of dialogue. "The longer I look at the pictures of Jan Peter Tripp," Sebald comments in his essay, "the better I understand that behind the illusions of the surface, a dread-inspiring depth is concealed. It is the metaphysical lining of reality, so to speak." The lithographs portray, with stunning exactness, pairs of eyes: among them the eyes of Beckett, Borges, Proust, Jasper Johns, Francis Bacon, Tripp, Sebald, and Sebald's dog Maurice. The poems are anti-narrative, epiphanic, and brief as haiku. What the author calls "time lost, the pain of remembering, and the figure of death" here find a small home.Sebald, W. G. is the author of 'Unrecounted', published 2005 under ISBN 9780811215961 and ISBN 0811215962.
