The Wolves of Eternity

Knausgaard is among the finest writers alive. * New York Times *
[An] enormously compelling book… The range of subjects The Wolves of Eternity explores is fascinating * Sunday Times *
Casts an existential spell…captivating… Big themes — the cosmos, death and resurrection — are amplified through ghostly visitations, doppelgänger lives and the question of what, if anything, lies beyond human existence * Financial Times *
Compelling * Telegraph **** *
The nature and possibility of immortality is a recurring theme, and digressions abound — communicating trees, broken families, Chernobyl, death, etc. But by sticking close to his characters, Knausgaard addresses those heady topics with an easy-going grace * LA Times *
Compulsively readable…Knausgaard remains one of the great chroniclers of the moment-by-moment experience of life * Washington Post *
An intelligent, expansive novel * i *
Immersive… It is so engrossing and entertaining that I crammed in its 800 pages like a glutton devouring a box of chocolates * Spectator *
Knausgaard, master of fiction as an inquiry into the self, now revives fiction as an inquiry into the cosmos, re-enchanting the latter with those beguiling secrets science had stolen from it * Guardian *
I read The Morning Star compulsively, and stayed awake all night after finishing it. – Brandon Taylor
