Karl Ove Knausgaard: The Familiar Made Strange
My Struggle was the six-volume autofictional project that established Karl Ove Knausgaard among the world’s most respected writers. Now, the Norwegian author embarks on a new literary odyssey. The Morning Star is a novel steeped in the uncanny, haunted by a sense of foreboding and narrated by nine different characters over two August nights when a star in the Norwegian sky shines brightest.
