Merging stories of Stendhal's unrequited love, the trials of Franz Kafka in Italy, a series of murders by a clandestine organisation, and the narrator's own personal journeying, Vertigo was Sebald's first novel (and third to appear in English). "Where has one heard in English a voice of such confidence and precision, so direct in its expression of feeling, yet so respectfully devoted to 'the real'?" (Susan Sontag).
