An exhilarating story of ambition, joy and failure in early manhood
from the international phenomenon, Karl Ove Knausgaard. * Karl Ove
Knausgaard's dazzling new novel, The Morning Star, is available to
pre-order now * As the youngest student to be admitted to Bergen's
prestigious Writing Academy, Karl Ove arrives full of excitement
and writerly aspirations. Soon though, he is stripped of his
youthful illusions. His writing is revealed to be puerile and
cliched, and his social efforts are a dismal failure. He drowns his
shame in drink and rock music. Then, little by little, things begin
to change. He falls in love, gives up writing and the beginnings of
an adult life take shape. That is, until his self-destructive
binges and the irresistible lure of the writer's struggle pull him
back. 'Breathtaking... Knausgaard has a rare talent for making
everyday life seem fascinating' The Times
