Quite some time ago, I was invited by a curious and quirky outfit called The Institute of Cultural Enquiry to contribute to book about W.G. Sebald. 

Finally that book has appeared. It’s called ‘Searching for Sebald‘ and is packed full of really interesting articles about Sebald by a broad range of academics and artists. My chapter rather sticks out at an odd angle – not art, not academic – since it tries to explain how my web project ‘In Search of Oldton‘ was in part inspired by ‘The Emigrants‘ and ‘The Rings of Saturn‘.

Intriguingly, the ICE has announced that it’s planning a special ‘suitcase’ version of the book with contributors adding their own objects/artworks to the case. I’m hoping to throw in a pack of Oldton playing cards.
