Listening to Austerlitz

It’s now possible to listen to the recently broadcast radio play based upon Sebald’s Austerlitz on the BBC website – but only for a limited time.  It’s only up for six more days, presumably through Saturday the 22nd.  Follow this link and click on Listen Now.  For inscrutable reasons, the audio session opens with a short program on the poet Lord Byron and Napoleon, but you can skip forward to 16:30 where Austerlitz begins.  The radio plays lasts 90 minutes.   If you listen, feel free to comment about what you think of Michael Butt’s adaptation.  Several people have already recorded their reactions in the comments to my prior post.

More on this in a few days.
