![]() ![]() And I wanted it not to be one single person seeing the world but kind of almost like a choir of people. KNAUSGAARD: Well, first of all, I wanted to do something very far from what I have been doing until now, which is writing about myself and my own life. KARL OVE KNAUSGAARD: Thank you very much.įADEL: So I just want to start with how we got "Morning Star." I mean, this is your first work of total fiction in over a decade after writing your six-volume autobiographical series, "My Struggle." What brought you back to fiction and this story in particular? Joining us now is author Karl Ove Knausgaard. The novel is an unsettling and biblically-infused story that explores life, death and the in-between. Crabs fill the street far from the water, swarms of ladybugs cover a terrace, and animals that shouldn't be there appear on roads, in homes. Then a new star appears in the sky and things get strange. It's told through the eyes of several people, among them a professor, a priest, a journalist all struggling with the challenges that are life, love, mental health, addiction, career failures, work-life balance, global warming. In "The Morning Star," Karl Ove Knausgaard (ph) spins an ambitious tale that takes place over two days in August. ![]()
