From global literary superstar Karl Ove Knausgaard, an achingly beautiful collection of daily meditations and love letters addressed directly to Knausgaard's unborn daughter
Karl Ove Knausgaard (Author)
Karl Ove Knausgaard's My Struggle cycle has been heralded as a
masterpiece all over the world. From A Death in the Family to The
End, the novels move through childhood into adulthood and,
together, form an enthralling portrait of human life. Knausgaard
has been awarded the Norwegian Critics Prize for Literature, the
Brage Prize and the Jerusalem Prize. His work, which also includes
the Seasons Quartet and the Morning Star series (The Morning Star,
The Wolves of Eternity and The Third Realm) is published in
thirty-five languages.
Lars Lerin (Illustrator)
Lars Lerin, born in Sweden, is considered to be Scandinavia's
leading watercolourist, and his art is displayed in museums
worldwide, including the Sandgrund museum, which is dedicated
exclusively to his work. He has also published over fifty books,
including Naturl ra, winner of the 2014 August Prize. In 2016 he
was honoured by the King of Sweden with the Royal Medal Litteris et
Artibus.
The second volume of his autobiographical quartet based on the
seasons is even more beautiful than the first... Hauntingly
translated by Ingvild Burkey, Winter will reward every curious
reader. Insightful, giddy and full of energy, Knausgaard's memoir
throbs with the miraculous imminence of new life and the thrill of
just being.
*The Economist 1843*
When Knausgaard exposes himself in the manner of his
autobiographical novel My Struggle... it’s interesting enough. But
he becomes more charming and persuasive when he wanders into
quizzical speculation – about, say, why coffins don’t have windows
or how sex is like cannibalism.
*Observer*
The author casts the world in a holy glow of surprise and
compassion… A winningly interior journey into the most interior of
seasons.
*Starred Kirkus review*
It sounds mad, and often is, but it’s also sweet, funny and brimful
of wide-eyed seasonal wonder.
*Metro*
