Last night a new star appeared in the sky. The Morning Star.
I know what it means. It means that it has begun.
One long night in August, Arne and Tove are staying with their children in their summer house in southern Norway. Their friend Egil has his own place nearby. Kathrine, a priest, is flying home from a Bible seminar, questioning her marriage. Journalist Jostein is out drinking for the night, while his wife, Turid, a nurse at a psychiatric care unit, is on a nightshift when one of her patients escapes.
Above them all, a huge star suddenly appears blazing in the sky. It brings with it a mysterious sense of foreboding.
Strange things start to happen as nine lives come together under the star. Hundreds of crabs amass on the road as Arne drives at night; Jostein receives a call about a death metal band found brutally murdered in a Satanic ritual; Kathrine conducts a funeral service for a man she met at the airport - but is he actually dead?
The Morning Star is about life in all its mundanity and drama, the strangeness that permeates our world, and the darkness in us all. Karl Ove Knausgaard's astonishing new novel, his first after the My Struggle cycle, goes to the utmost limits of freedom and chaos, to what happens when forces beyond our comprehension are unleashed, and the realms of the living and the dead collide.

INCREDIBLE RECEPTION IN NORWAY: MORNING STAR shot to #2 on the national hardcover fiction bestseller list in Norway, immediately following publication, and also #2 on the ebook list. In the biggest bookstore chains there it is the #1 seller. The book has received fantastic and positive review coverage. All major newspapers covered the release with interviews and reviews, and the author was featured on NRK, the Norwegian equivalent to the BBC. The novel has been shortlisted for the Booksellers' Prize in Norway.
STAR AUTHOR: Knausgaard is a worldwide sensation, and is published in 36 languages. A living writer of canonical status, he has a very devoted readership that is both popular and literary. Any publication of his is a major literary event.
EXTENSIVE AND IMMERSIVE NARRATIVE: At 666 pages, MORNING STAR revolves around nine characters, and journeys from heaven to earth, to the realm of the dead. A departure from his more autiobiographical works, MORNING STAR looks at our relationships to the rational and the irrational, and looks closely at the messages we can find within nature.
