Summer: From the Sunday Times Bestselling Author (Seasons Quartet 4)

Another beautiful book by Knausgaard with unique insights on the everyday and an interesting segue between historical and contemporary fiction.

This man is a genius. I adore him already bought for other people and rave about him.

One of the best books I have ever read.

I suppose it doesn't matter what he writes it's captivating. Just an extension did the books that have defined his talent. I just hope they keep on coming.

I’m a great fan of Knausgaard’s My Struggle series. I enjoy his obsession with detail, the recounting of every action, every mood, every event. The slightest of trivia. But I found Summer, one of his quartet of seasons books, too episodic. It’s the sustained narrative I enjoy in My Struggle but here I couldn’t relate to his random approach. The book is a mix of diary entries, mini-essays, reflections and meditations, some quite interesting after a fashion, but tedious in the aggregate. Not for me, this one.
