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 Knausgaards first collection of essays to be published in English. In these wide-ranging pieces, he reflects openly and with penetrating intelligence on Ingmar Bergmans 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 Shermans shadowlands, the sublime mystery of Sally Manns vision, and the serious play of Francesca Woodman. They capture Knausgaards 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.Karl Ove Knausgaard was born in Norway in 1968. His debut novel, Out of This World, won the Norwegian Critics Prize in 1998, and his second novel, A Time for Everything, was a finalist for the Nordic Council Literature Prize in 2005. My Struggle: Book One was a New York Times bestseller and has been translated into more than twenty languages. Martin Aitken is the translator of numerous novels from the Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish, including works by Peter Høeg, Ida Jessen, Kim Leine, Hanne Ørstavik, and Karl Ove Knausgaard. His translations of short stories and poetry have appeared in many literary journals and magazines. In 2012 he was awarded the American-Scandinavian Foundations Nadia Christensen Translation Prize. He lives and works in Denmark.Book specifications:Dimensions: 208 x 136Author: Karl Ove KnausgaardCover type: PaperbackPublishing Year: 2023Publishing Month: 1Pages: 416Language: EnglishPublisher: Farrar, Straus and GirouxWeight: 458 g
