- 92Y.org/PCO | W. G. Sebald at 92nd Street Y. October 15, 2001. Read more about this recording from Rick Moody, part of 92Y Poetry's 75 at 75: Writers on Recordings: 92yondemand.org/75-at-75-rick-...
A special project for our anniversary season, "75 at 75" invites authors to listen to a recording from our vast archive and write a personal response. In most instances, these recordings are being made available to the general public for the very first time. Colm Tóibín on Elizabeth Bishop, Brian Boyd on Vladimir Nabokov, Rick Moody on W. G. Sebald, A. L. Kennedy on E. E. Cummings, Richard Ford on Eudora Welty, Cynthia Ozick on W. H. Auden, Donna Tartt on Carson McCullers, Maxine Hong Kingston on Grace Paley, Helen Vendler on Wallace Stevens, Yiyun Li on William Trevor and Tom Stoppard on Harold Pinter-these are just some of the exciting pairs of recording-responses coming to Poetry Center Online in the next year.

Hearing the voice of Sebald flowing through mumling words whispering a deep cry is exactly what the reader feels eyes wide open in the silence of every page of his books. It reminded me Marcel Proust allthough Sebald can reach a even more profound level of conscience. I am very grateful.
Randomly watching this because i was his postman for many years, a great man - his house sold recently, causing a flutter of nostalgia in me, and prompting me to revisit some media relating to him.r.i.p.
One of the greatest writers of the last 50 years. A true modern literary genius of some of the most beautiful prose to be found. It is painful to think of the work he may of produced had he not died so tragically young.
I'm deeply moved as I had never thought that I would see Sebald live and read his own work. Thank you, as he is the only writer who speaks right into my heart, my mind and my body. When I concentrate into his work I feel united again.
It is painful and at the same time comforting to know that Sebald, the greatest writer of his generation, could still be writing today. His talent, wisdom, and seriousness are deeply missed.
I normally shy away from watching authors speak,or speak of, their works. The works speak for themselves. But Sebald is in a category as an author, singular in how he wrote, not to say what he wrote, so this is most welcome to find and something I will watch over again. It is marvellous to hear him, something I did not think I would be able to do. Many thanks for this.
Lovely to hear Sebald's voice.
seeing this susan sontag's remark about her 9/11 article from 2001 now in 2021 feels pretty much in a rings of saturn's way and it gives me goosebumps looking at mr.sebald, staring from behind he shoulder that october of that year and knowing everything that will come next
Best writter in history of man
Un millon de gracias al responsable de subir este video.
thank you very much for these
I cry looking this conference
No puedo si quiera describir con palabras lo que siento al ver este video. LLevo ya anos leyendo y releyendo con devocion cada uno de los libros de Sebald sin porder resignarme ni un solo minuto a su inoportuna muerte y al hecho de que nunca habia pordido verlo mas alla de las fotografias de identifiction de los libros.
Lovely reading. Hearing him read out loud helps the reading of his work. (he does look like Umberto D.)
Sebald died 2 months after this reading. 'Depths of Wales' refers to the idea (for a child) that wales was an untamed and foreign country. Read the book, it makes sense.
Yes. Yes. This cannot be "liked" enough.
The intelligence on stage; is outstandang.
Thanks for posting the footage.
W G Sebald always creeps up on us with his quietly threatening prose... the undoubted maestro of fiction.
Sontag saying she's still a work in progress is very hilarious to me😂
