Reviews
"Knausgaard closes his quartet of autobiographical meditations on the seasons in an appropriately verdant and optimistic fashion. . . While interrogating the nature of storytelling, he's priming readers for a powerful, straightforward yarn. Breezy reading that's also a commentary on breezy reading. Some trick." - Kirkus, starred review, "Knausgaard closes his quartet of autobiographical meditations on the seasons in an appropriately verdant and optimistic fashion. . . While interrogating the nature of storytelling, he's priming readers for a powerful, straightforward yarn. Breezy reading that's also a commentary on breezy reading. Some trick." - Kirkus, starred review "Engrossing... Knausgaard's prose evokes universal themes from intimate specifics." -- Publisher's Weekly, starred review, "He brings it all alive in his prose, makes it shimmer. Whether intellectually parsing for meaning or playing this existential video game of political turmoil, horror, and heartache, his writing flows easily from quiet, thoughtful engagement to ecstatic communion with the world... He may be done with this quartet, the My Struggle series, and autofiction altogether, but I still want more of it. That kind of passionate literary intimacy is rare. And wanting more and even more -- isn't that just like being in love?" -- Los Angeles Review of Books "Knausgaard closes his quartet of autobiographical meditations on the seasons in an appropriately verdant and optimistic fashion. . . While interrogating the nature of storytelling, he's priming readers for a powerful, straightforward yarn. Breezy reading that's also a commentary on breezy reading.

Synopsis
The grand finale of Karl Ove Knausgaard's masterful and intensely-personal series about the four seasons, illustrated with paintings by the great German artist Anselm Kiefer 2 June--It is completely dark out now. It is twenty-three minutes to midnight and you have already slept for four hours. What you will dream of tonight, no one will ever know. Even if you were to remember it when you wake up, you wouldn't have a language in which to communicate it to us, nor do I think that you quite understand what dreams are, I think that is still undefined for you, that your thoughts haven't grasped it yet, and that it therefore lies within that strange zone where it neither exists nor doesn't exist. The conclusion to one of the most extraordinary and original literary projects in recent years, Summer once again intersperses short vividly descriptive essays with emotionally-raw diary entries addressed directly to Knausgaard's newborn daughter. Writing more expansively and, if it is possible, even more intimately and unguardedly than in the previous three volumes, he mines with new depth his difficult memories of his childhood and fraught relationship with his own father. Documenting his family's life in rural Sweden and reflecting on a characteristically eclectic array of subjects--mosquitoes, barbeques, cynicism, and skin, to name just a few--he braids the various threads of the previous volumes into a moving conclusion. At his most voluminous since My Struggle, his epic sensational series, Knausgaard writes for his daughter, striving to make ready and give meaning to a world at once indifferent and achingly beautiful. In his hands, the overwhelming joys and insoluble pains of family and parenthood come alive with uncommon feeling.

    Prompt international shipping (APO); tape arrived very-well packed, not just in bubble wrap, but with additional cardboard support. A very conscientious seller! Many times I've received crushed tapes in the mail, with little more than a paper envelope surrounding them, the seller then blaming USPS when it never stood a chance with zero padding, so thank you! Tape was new old stock as described, and an excellent value for '90s Fred Olen Ray video cheese. A+++
