I really enjoyed this book. It has an excellent selection of Emily Dickinson's poetry and letters, and it helps you understand who she was as a person, and what drove her to write poetry.

The Emigrants | W. G. Sebald
Pickpick

I found this novel to be excellent. Sebald discusses the Holocaust, without directly referring to it, which I found very tasteful. Altogether, the novel is very surreal, and with the inclusion of different photographs, it blurs the lines of whether or not what transpired in the novel actually occurred.
