In the Land of the Cyclops - Karl Ove Knausgard Kartoniert (TB)

From the New York Times bestselling author of the My Struggle series comes a collection of ambitious remarkably erudite essays on art literature culture and philosophy. In the Land of the Cyclops is Karl Ove Knausgaard's first collection of essays to be published in English. In these wide-ranging pieces he reflects openly and with penetrating intelligence on Ingmar Bergman's notebooks Anselm Kiefer the northern lights Madame Bovary Rembrandt and the role of an editor. Accompanied by black-and-white reproductions throughout these essays illuminate Cindy Sherman's shadowlands the sub lime mystery of Sally Mann's vision and the serious play of Francesca Woodman. They capture Knausgaard's remarkable ability to mediate between the personal and the universal between life and art. Each piece glimmers with his candor and his longing to authentically see understand and experience the world.
