@i_am_mill_i_am Did you take part in @RobGMacfarlane's #TheReadingsofSaturn reading group in the summer? excellent conversations and links/connections.
“the exposed tendons, which ought to be those of the left palm, given the position of the thumb, are in fact those of the back of the right hand.” W. G. Sebald, The Rings of Saturn @RobGMacfarlane

"Combustion is the hidden principle behind every artefact we create." W.G. #Sebald, #TheRingsOfSaturn #TheReadingsOfSaturn @RobGMacfarlane #ClimateChange
Absolutely. And @RobGMacfarlane also generously hosted the great #thereadingsofsaturn discussion in July.
The Fortnightly is back for another academic year, including #TheReadingsofSaturn @RobGMacfarlane

#thereadingsofsaturn Beautiful Covehithe in the dog days of summer 2018. How very different from Sebald's fearful, melancholic representation of Covehithe in the dog days of summer 1992!
#Suffolk has many hidden gems & Covehithe beach is one of our favourites! Only accessed by foot or bike this is a true unspoilt, natural beauty! Rebecca from our #CustomerService team enjoyed a day with her family here & captured these stunning shots #beach #summer #summerholiday
„The stuffed polar bear in the entrance stands over three yards tall. With its yellowish and moth-eaten fur, it resembles a ghost bowed by sorrows.“ #wgsebald #thereadingsofsaturn #ringsofsaturn #somerleyton
@RobGMacfarlane A late but absolutely essential addition to the thread of authors influenced by Sebald, Rwandan survivor Clemantine Wamariya who writes of “Austerlitz”: “The book was my flashlight, my looking glass, my everything.” #TRoS #TheReadingsofSaturn
Erm, Lowestoft.
Rings of Saturn by W.G Sebald #TheReadingsofSaturn
If you were transported to the setting of the current book you're reading, where would you be?
BTW, Reading #TRoS on an Ipad made it easy to explore persons and places referred to-and still many more rabbit holes to go down! I just googled and found this background to the artist of the Faust print-and the Bodmer Library where I found this postcard #TheReadingsofSaturn 4/4
Werner Herzog's predilection for walking immediately came to mind and his walk from Munich to Paris. His diary, ‘Walking on Ice’, was published in 1978. Both Sebald and Herzog are Bavarians and were born near the end of WWII. @RobGMacfarlane #TheReadingsofSaturn #TRoS 3/4
MT @RobGMacfarlane for your generous and insightful stewardship of #TheReadingsofSaturn group.Thx, too, to the other active contributors.Though late, here are a few things that came to mind concerning some possible influences on him? I hope they are of some interest #TRoS 1/4
Finally finished RoS this morning. (My second reading.) Will go back and catch up on RM’s missed prompts. As I type the cicadas hum in South Carolina. Their silky New World insect murmurings are beyond commerce.

After #TheReadingsofSaturn (which affirms the conviviality of psychogeography as a participation sport) I'm emboldened to tell you that I am working on an alternative-reality-game format to act as a Byronic-Steampunk interface to my 5km history trail which is called Unbelievable.
@maximpetergriff Ah Sebald... Did you know of the amazing recent twitter reading group hosted by @RobGMacfarlane around The Rings Of Saturn? If interested, check out #TRoS #TheReadingsofSaturn. Astonishing hive-mind at work.
@baston_john The silk was used for the parachutes because it was light and could be stowed away quickly.
#TRoS #TheReadingsofSaturn
‘..the importance silk would have in the dawning era of aerial warfare..’ (W.G.S) aviator’s neckwear? parachutes perhaps? (Billowing ‘white’ silk can saves lives). Aerial warfare had its beginnings with manned (silk??) kite flights in ancient China. #TRoS #TheReadingsofSaturn
Alas, @RobGMacfarlane , I had missed your Sebald #TheReadingsofSaturn till now. But great to see James Wood's "Humorist" piece which I had not seen. In Jan 2017, I'd posted my own (longish) take on "The dark, intrinsic humour of W.G.Sebald" https://t.co/MKx8a9hu79 #tros
...this book is so full of riddles that it is impossible to tell where these cease to be the author’s riddles and start to be the reader’s.... #TRoS #TheReadingsofSaturn
