Spring

Spring

â€œSpring features Knausgaard unbound, writing for the first time without a gimmick or the crutch of extravagant experimentationâ€¦Fall in love with the world, he enjoins, stay sensitive to it, stay in it.â€
-The New York Times

"Poignant and beautifulâ€¦Even if you think you wonâ€™t like Knausgaard, try this one and youâ€™ll get him and get why some of us have gone crazy for him."
â€”Los Angeles Review of Books

You donâ€™t know what air is, and yet you breathe. You donâ€™t know what sleep is, yet you sleep. You donâ€™t know what night is, yet you lie in it. You donâ€™t know what a heart is, yet your own heart beats steadily in your chest, day and night, day and night, day and night.
Â
So begins Spring, the recommencement of Knausgaardâ€™s fantastic and spellbinding literary project of assembling a personal encyclopedia of the world addressed directly to his newly born daughter. But here Knausgaard must also tell his daughter the story of what happened during the time when her mother was pregnant, and explain why he now has to attend appointments with child services. In order to keep his daughter safe, he must tell a terrible story, one which unfolds with acute psychological suspense over the course of a single day.
Â
Utterly gripping and brilliantly rendered in Knausgaardâ€™s famously sensitive, pensive, and honest style, Spring is the account of a shocking and heartbreaking familial trauma and the emotional epicenter of this singular literary series.
