As an experiment, I read this exclusively whilst listening to The Caretaker, who also soundtracked Grant Gee's film about the book and author: Patience (After Sebald). I found it to deepen both the book and music, now inseparable for me, making it a cherished read. I highly reccomend trying the same.
