In Autumn

About This Novel

Karl Ove Knausgaard, a master of contemporary literature and a genius of observation and introspection, has created the first volume of a tetralogy based on the four seasons. The book begins with a letter written by Knausgaard to his unborn daughter, telling her what there is to look forward to in the world. Every day after that, Knausgaard would write an article, describing the world of matter and nature with precision and intensity. He describes the family's daily life in the Swedish countryside with keen insight and mobilizes his own childhood memories to open up a precious and uniquely tender perspective on family relationships. The sun, wasps, jellyfish, eyes, lice - all everyday objects are the material of his art, whether grand or small. This is a personal encyclopedia from chewing gum to stars. Knausgaard uses his meticulous observation to show us how vast, wonderful and full of unknowns this world is.
