The first in a seasonal quartet, Autumn is a surprisingly tender and sweet offering from Norwegian author Karl Ove Knausgaard, who shot to literary stardom after the publication of his My Struggle series. This new work is comprised of letters to Knausgaard’s unborn daughter, along with 60 mini-essays that range from the mundane (tin cans, chewing gum, badgers) to the abstract (loneliness, war, forgiveness). Knausgaard unpacks each subject with his trademark intensity and precision; he has an undeniable gift for reimagining everyday life in a unique way that will delight and startle you. The book is also a beautiful object in its own right, featuring striking artwork from Vanessa Baird. Volume two, Winter (Harvill Secker HB $35), is also available.
