The second volume in Knaugsaard's autobiographical quartet based on the seasons, an achingly beautiful collection of daily meditations and letters addressed directly to unborn daughter.
In Winter, the second installment in this quartet, we rejoin Karl Ove Knausgaard as he waits for the birth of his daughter. In preparation for her arrival, he takes stock of the world, seeing it as if for the first time. Familiar objects and ideas fill with new meaning. New life is on the horizon, but the earth is also in hibernation, waiting for the warmer weather to return, and so a contradictory melancholy inflects his gaze. Startling, compassionate, and exquisitely beautiful, Knaus-gaard shows the world as it really is, at once mundane and sublime. 
With illustrations by Lars Lerin.
“Winter reaches at emotions and common experiences thatvlay dusty in all of us.” —Chicago Review of Books
