THE MORNING STAR - KARL OVE KNAUSGARD KARTONIER...

A New York Times Notable Book • One of NPR's Best Books of the Year  "Knausgaard is among the
finest writers alive.” —Dwight Garner  New York Times   “A ravishing form of theologically
infused fabulism. . . . This combination of the universal and the intimate enables the novel to
approach weighty subjects—death and dying  belief and despair—with both the thrust of a
suspense narrative and the depth of a philosophical inquiry.” —The New Yorker   The
international bestseller from the author of the renowned My Struggle series  The Morning Star
is an astonishing  ambitious  and rich novel about what we don't understand  and our attempts
to make sense of our world nonetheless   One long night in August  Arne and Tove are staying
with their children in their summer house in southern Norway. Their friend Egil has his own
place nearby. Kathrine  a priest  is flying home from a Bible seminar  questioning her
marriage. Journalist Jostein is out drinking for the night  while his wife  Turid  a nurse at a
psychiatric care unit  is on a night shift when one of her patients escapes.   Above them all 
a huge star suddenly appears blazing in the sky. It brings with it a mysterious sense of
foreboding.  Strange things start to happen as nine lives come together under the star.
Hundreds of crabs amass on the road as Arne drives at night  Jostein receives a call about a
death metal band found brutally murdered in a Satanic ritual  Kathrine conducts a funeral
service for a man she met at the airport – but is he actually dead?    The Morning Star is
about life in all its mundanity and drama  the strangeness that permeates our world  and the
darkness in us all. Karl Ove Knausgaard’s astonishing new novel  his first after the My
Struggle cycle  goes to the utmost limits of freedom and chaos  to what happens when forces
beyond our comprehension are unleashed and the realms of the living and the dead collide.
