Abstract
This chapter discusses W.G. Sebald's writing. It observes that his novels insistently feature photographs and descriptions of smoking chimneys and railway stations, which reveal the extent to which the Holocaust fills people's everyday consciousness and lives. The chapter shows that Sebald's writing explores the critical traces of Romanticism, and tries to determine whether this writing conflates the concepts of providence and fate with the discourse of trauma. It also states that Sebald reminds readers that there are some features of knowledge which remain beyond their grasp.
