“Spring features Knausgaard unbound, writing for the first time without a gimmick or the crutch of extravagant experimentation. . . . Fall in love with the world, he enjoins, stay sensitive to it, stay in it.” —The New York Times
The third installment of Knausgaard’s quartet, Spring, is addressed directly to his newly born daughter. But in order to keep her safe, he must also tell his daughter the story of what happened during the time when her mother was pregnant. The tale unfolds with acute psychological suspense over the course of a single day. Utterly gripping and brilliantly rendered in Knausgaard’s sensitive and honest style, Spring is the account of a shocking and heartbreaking familial trauma and the emotional epicenter of this singular literary series.
"Poignant and beautiful…Even if you think you won't like Knausgaard, try this one and you'll get him and get why some of us have gone crazy for him." —Los Angeles Review of Books
