Summer

£10.99

Returning to the short prose of Autumn and Winter, Karl Ove Knausgaard writes about summer nights to circuses, lawn sprinklers to Mixmasters. But he also writes a diary, where the small events in a family’s life are recorded against a backdrop of thoughts, memories, longings and experiences of art and literature, in an intense pursuit of the meaning of moments as they pass us by.

Description

Summer is the fourth volume of the Seasons quartet, a collection of short prose and diaries written by a father for his youngest daughter, with stunning artwork by Anselm Kiefer.

‘Knausgaard unearths the mysteries of the commonplace’ Observer

In Summer, Karl Ove Knausgaard writes about long days full of sunlight, eating ice cream with his children, lawn sprinklers and ladybirds. He experiments with the beginnings of a novel and keeps a diary in which the small events of his family’s life are recorded. Against a canvas of memories, longings, and experiences of art and literature, he searches for the meaning of moments as they pass us by.
