The beginning was a bit of a bumpy start. How funny that you stared reading it on the month and day you did!Stefaniehttp://somanybooksblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972764383963459152.post-21738536678756890142010-03-23T11:14:11.614-04:002010-03-23T11:14:11.614-04:00heidenkind: Me either.

I think this may be irrefutable proof that chaos theory is correct.<br /><br />Amateur Reader: I take it back. After a slow beginning, I've become entirely enamored of Vertigo, or whatever it should be called.<br /><br />As for the 90s comment. I don't think I can answer that in a satisfactory way.

Told you it wouldn't satisfy!Bookphiliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05155882653615842141noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972764383963459152.post-54733169716511717632010-03-23T10:11:44.843-04:002010-03-23T10:11:44.843-04:00Vertigo is Sebald's first novel.

But I may be missing something - what characterizes novels of the early 90s?Amateur Reader (Tom)https://www.blogger.com/profile/13675275555757408496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4972764383963459152.post-27433713281785564802010-03-22T17:49:26.175-04:002010-03-22T17:49:26.175-04:00That has never happened to me before.
