A profound (and profoundly eclectic) collection of essays
Daily Telegraph, *Summer Reads of 2021*
A modern Roland Barthes... Knausgaard has a gift for stopping the reader in their tracks with an unexpected, casual profundity
Steven Poole, Daily Telegraph
With this piece, Knausgaard has achieved what he elsewhere says he hopes to do as a novelist, which is to relay his experience as honestly as he can, gambling that it will somehow be universal. Here...he has diagnosed an entire modern psyche... Against which, true thinkers and writers, such as Knausgaard, are our only hope
Steven Poole, Daily Telegraph
Clear, elegant, dense and engrossing... Even hardened Knausgaard sceptics...should find something to admire here; and fans will be thrilled
Lucy Atkins, Sunday Times
Perceptive and inspiring
Simon Humphreys, Mail on Sunday
