The Last Movement

Praise for Robert Seethaler: 'Filled with truth after truth, poignantly rendered and given to us with tender open-handedness. Seethaler is in his very own league, capturing a place and time that is ultimately universal' -- ELIZABETH STROUT
A poet of the small, the random and the event without consequence, [Seethaler's] is a world we can all enjoy * * Guardian * *
Seethaler's literary preoccupations [can be placed] alongside writers such as Claire Keegan, John Berger or John Williams * * Financial Times * *
The prose has the stillness of a Vermeer . . . In a world of action movies and social media there's little time for quiet contemplation. Seethaler reminds us we're part of a whole * * Spectator * *
Seethaler renders a life at once ordinary and exquisite, exploring the vagaries of solitude with a gentle humility * * Times Literary Supplement * *
Seethaler's prose is deceptively simple, filled with exquisite yet simple details. . . warm, fleeting, and profoundly human * * Independent Book Review * *
A god of ordinary people's feelings . . . characters and settings come alive without a single wasted word and with no undue heaviness * * Frankfurter Rundschau * *
