Karl Ove Knausgaard In the Land of the Cyclops Paperback Book

A brilliantly wideranging essay collection from the author of My Struggle, spanning literature, philosophy, art and how our daily and creative lives intertwine. In the Land of the Cyclops is Karl Ove Knausgaards first collection of essays to be published in English, and these brilliant and wideranging pieces meditate on themes familiar from his groundbreaking fiction. Here, Knausgaard discusses Madame Bovary, the Northern Lights, Ingmar Bergman, and the work of an array of writers and visual artists, including Knut Hamsun, Michel Houellebecq, Anselm Kiefer and Cindy Sherman. These essays beautifully capture Knausgaards ability to mediate between the deeply personal and the universal, demonstrating his trademark selfscrutiny and his deep longing to authentically see, understand, and experience the world.
