Autumn

From the author of the monumental My Struggle series comes the first in a new autobiographical quartet based on the four seasons.

Autumn begins with a letter Karl Ove Knausgaard writes to his unborn daughter, showing her what to expect of the world. He writes one short piece per day, describing the material and natural world with the precision and intensity that have become his trademark. This beautifully illustrated book isa personal encyclopedia, showingus how vast, unknowable and wondrousthe world is.

“This book is full of wonders. . . . Loose teeth, chewing gum, it all becomes noble, almost holy, under Knausgaard’s patient, admiring gaze. The world feels repainted.” —The New York Times
