Winter
Hardback Edition: 1
The second volume in his autobiographical quartet based on the seasons, Winter is an achingly beautiful collection of daily meditations and letters addressed directly to Knaugsaard's unborn daughter. In preparation for her arrival, he takes stock of the world, seeing it anew. While new life

In his inimitably sensitive style, he writes about everything from the moon, winter boots and messiness, to owls and birthdays.
