Loved this interview with Benjamín Labatut on the delirium of literature, genius, epiphanies, science, etc.

Reading Labatut, I was somewhat annoyed by how stylistically similar he is to W. G. Sebald, while not even coming close to Sebald's level. Why read an ersatz imitator when you can read the real thing?

Maybe I'm over that now... There are things I get from Labatut that I don't get from Sebald. Moreover, it seems Labatut agrees with me re: Sebald being in a league of his own:

"I don’t think anyone, anywhere, writes like Sebald. I reread his books every year. His melancholy and humor, the density of information that they hold, the beauty of his prose—which has a deeply strange effect, somniferous and hallucinogenic, that prevents you from remembering everything you’ve read, no matter how much you try—make him a complete exception. His oeuvre is an unreachable monolith, a summit that exits our world. In my opinion, he’s the best writer of the 20th century."

—Benjamín Labatut on W. G. Sebald

I would place Woolf above Sebald, but he's not far behind...

Marble votive relief with eyes. It was dedicated to Zeus, and placed in the shrine by one Philomation, either in the hope of preventing eye disease or a thank-offering for a cure.
