This book is full of wonders... Loose teeth, chewing gum, it all becomes noble, almost holy, under Knausgaard's patient, admiring gaze. The world feels repainted. -- Parul Sehgal * New York Times * Quietly illuminates Knausgaard's profound gift for making the reader see the world in fresh and unpredictable ways. -- Stuart Evers * The Observer * In Autumn, a lyrical cabaret beside the grand opera of the My Struggle books, taboo memories and forbidden feelings disrupt the grown-up project of a compendium of fatherly wisdom... Autumn glows with a radiant attachment to 'the world, as it is'... From sunshine to head-lice, it celebrates the 'dizzying intensity of being'. * The Economist * Brilliantly conveys the sense you get, as a prospective parent, that the world is brand new... It's all beautifully done. -- William Leith * Evening Standard * Diverse and delightful... These sharp little essays capture the wonder of things with photographic immediacy... This is an inspiring, surprising collection * The Times *
