Robert Seethaler: The Field

In this short story collection, the contemporary Austrian writer, Robert Seethaler, writes about life, death, and human connection. The Field is the oldest part of the cemetery where some of the small town’s most outspoken residents can be found. From their graves, they tell stories. Some recall just a moment; others remember all the people they have known (no comma) or the only person they ever loved. This chorus of voices paints the picture of a tight-knit community in Austria. The Field is a constellation of human lives that shows how existence, for all its fleetingness, still has profound meaning. Please obtain Robert Seethaler’s The Field (?ISBN 978-1487010270) and read the first four very short stories for our first meeting. Instructor: Petra Bittner
