From the New York Times bestselling author of the My Struggle series comes a collection of ambitious, remarkably erudite essays on art, literature, culture, and philosophy.

In the Land of the Cyclops is Karl Ove Knausgaard''s first collection of essays to be published in EnglishIn these wide-ranging pieces, he reflects openly and with penetrating intelligence on Ingmar Bergman''s notebooks, Anselm Kiefer, the northern lights, Madame Bovary, Rembrandt, and the role of an editor. Accompanied by black-and-white reproductions throughout, these essays illuminate Cindy Sherman''s shadowlands, the sublime mystery of Sally Mann''s vision, and the serious play of Francesca Woodman.

They capture Knausgaard''s remarkable ability to mediate between the personal and the universal, between life and art. Each piece glimmers with his candor and his longing to authentically see, understand, and experience the world.
