"A love letter to his unborn daughter, Autumn is for every reader who thinks about what the world holds for their child, and is the first book in a new autobiographical quartet based on the four seasons. Autumn begins with a letter Karl Ove writes to his unborn daughter, showing her what to expect of the world she will soon come into. He writes one short piece per day, describing the material and natural world with the wonder and mesmerising intensity that have become his trademark. This beautifully illustrated book is a personal encyclopaedia on everything from chewing gum to the stars. Through close observation of the objects and phenomena around him, Karl Ove shows us how vast, unknowable and wondrous the world is. The second volume in the autobiographical quartet, Winter, will be published in January 2018. Norwegian author Karl Ove Knausgård is the author of Out of the World, A Time for Everything and A Death in the Family, the first of the My Struggle cycle of novels. The author now lives in Osterlen, Sweden."--Provided by publisher.
