Winfried Georg Sebald (18 May 1944 – 14 December 2001) -- known as W.G. Sebald or Max Sebald -- was a German writer and academic.
Die Ausgewanderten ("The Emigrants")
See The Emigrants (Sebald novel).
Influences
The works of Jorge Luis Borges, especially "The Garden of Forking Paths" and "Tlön, Uqbar, Orbis Tertius", were a major influence on Sebald.
Tlön and Uqbar appear in Sebald's The Rings of Saturn.
Sebald himself credited the Austrian novelist Thomas Bernhard as a major influence on his work, and paid homage within his work to Kafka and Nabokov.
Nabokov appears in every one of the four sections of The Emigrants.
