Harvard Book Store welcomes KARL OVE KNAUSGAARD, bestselling and acclaimed author of the six-volume novel My Struggle, and literary critic JAMES WOOD for a discussion of Knausgaard’s latest book, Autumn—the first in a new autobiographical quartet based on the four seasons. Boston University’s WILLIAM PIERCE, author of Reality Hunger: On Karl Ove Knausgaard’s My Struggle, will provide the evening’s introductions.
Autumn begins with a letter Knausgaard writes to his unborn daughter, showing her what to expect of the world. He describes with acute sensitivity daily life with his wife and children in rural Sweden, drawing upon memories of his own childhood to give an inimitably tender perspective on the precious and unique bond between parent and child. Through close observation of the objects and phenomena around him, Knausgaard shows us how vast, unknowable and wondrous the world is.
