Seiler's anecdotal and associative pieces throw fascinating light on literature and his background, not least the environmental and human catastrophe of the Soviet-era mining in the community he grew up in, 'the tired villages . . . beneath which lay the ore, uranium'. Other essays focus on poetry, including his awakening to it while waiting in an army truck on his military service, and there are pieces on German poets such as Ernst Meister, J?gen Becker and Peter Huchel. The title essay describes the poet Huchel's notebook, a kind of dictionary of images organised by mood and location.\u003cbr\u003eProviding a perfect entry to Seiler's work, \u003ci\u003eIn Case of Loss \u003c\/i\u003esees one of Europe's most original writers speak with openness and insight in essays full of a poet's attention to the importance of often overlooked objects and lives. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lutz Seiler Seiler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1913505782\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781913505783\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e And Other Stories\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/02\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.40lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.70h x 4.90w x 0.70d","brand":"Lutz Seiler Seiler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44810034118911,"sku":"9781913505783","price":19.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a2b25507-9105-4045-88b8-674c4827fd11.jpg?v=1707928151","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/in-case-of-loss-lutz-seiler-seiler-9781913505783","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
