Karl Ove Knausgaard's My Struggle cycle has been heralded as a masterpiece all over the world. From A Death in the Family to The End, the novels move through childhood into adulthood and, together, form an enthralling portrait of human life. Knausgaard has been awarded the Norwegian Critics Prize for Literature, the Brage Prize and the Jerusalem Prize. His work, which also includes the Seasons Quartet and the Morning Star series (The Morning Star, The Wolves of Eternity and The Third Realm) is published in thirty-five languages. Martin Aitken has translated the works of many Scandinavian writers, among them Karl Ove Knausgaard, Helle Helle, Hanne Ørstavik and Olga Ravn. He lives in Denmark.I still can't get enough...The compulsion to keep reading springs from the author’s ability to transcribe patterns of thinking. His faith that access to other people’s consciousness might make us feel less alone remains a profound — and distinctly literary — conviction
The Times
Unsettling, disturbing and riveting... As we become privy to the characters musings on philosophy, religion, art, neuroscience and love, they grow ever more compelling.... as accessible and creepy as anything by Stephen King and as addictive as your favourite TV drama series. There is no writer I would rather devour
Spectator
Breathtaking...The book opens and closes with Tove…her mix of despair and insight, humour and visionary brilliance turns out to be what these novels need most… [The Third Realm] has such an electrifyingly capacious sense of what the novel can be
Guardian
One of the most genuinely suspenseful, alluring books I’ve ever read. Novel by novel, Knausgaard is replenishing some feral charge to the world. This book made me afraid of the dark again.
- Brandon Taylor, Washington Post
Intense… The presence of a detective investigating a ritual murder injects surprising pace, while distinctive meditations on mortality, the divine and mental illness prove enthralling
Mail on Sunday
If you love Knausgaard…you’ll devour The Third Realm… it’s ferociously readable… I still can’t get enough
The Times
A visionary epic... an exemplary masterclass in what fiction can offer
Guardian
The Third Realm… is primarily a meditation on the ordinary… compelling… At every turn…we see Knausgaard’s relish in depicting the unreliability of people’s thoughts
Literary Review
Readers who come to this book first will find an entertaining story about people sorting through spiritual, domestic, and emotional confusion. But those who’ve read the prior novels will get a deeper sense of just how fascinating, frustrating, and unknowable we can be to each other, and the consequences of that disconnection.
