Norwegian author Karl Ove Knausgaard has surpassed even his phenomenally high standards with his latest novel.

- 

“This dark and macabre offering is incredibly addictive, luring the reader into the erratic world of dislikeable Norwegian photography student Kristian Hadeland. Part of Knausgaard’s Morning Star universe, this is a standalone novel that delves into the darkest corners of human nature, and what one man is prepared to do to become famous. At 500 pages, it's an intense but hugely rewarding read. The book’s tagline is: ‘Meet Kristian Hadeland - You'll Hate Him’. And you really will. 9.5/10
