from Part IV - Reception and Legacy
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 August 2023
The essay first focusses on the role of music Sebald’s writings in general. It explores the influence of music on his critical and literary writings in terms of style and thematic considerations. The focus of the essay is on pop music, discussing the connections between music and key themes such as memory and trauma. Next, the essay analyses Sebald’s impact on pop music and popular culture. His books, especially The Rings of Saturn, inspired many musical artists working in Avantgarde contexts (e.g. The Caretaker, Mabe Fratti, Christoph Heemann) and influenced many pop musicians who often are writers, too (e.g. Nick Cave, Patti Smith, David Byrne, Dirk von Lowtzow). These connections leads to a closer consideration of the similarities between Sebald’s literary techniques and the format of the pop music album.
