A proposito di questo titolo

The haunting new novel from the Sunday Times bestselling author of A Death in the Family.

The year is 1976. Syvert is on his way back to his wife and two sons after a work trip when his car breaks down outside Arendal and he has to spend the night in the city. It is winter and bitterly cold; ice covers the strait all the way to the sea, so thick that cars can drive on it. There, almost home, but caught up in memories of his doomed love affair with Asya, a space opens between the known and the unknown, both in the city, as Syvert wanders the streets in the dark, and within him.

Arendal is a novel about impossible love and impossible life, about ships of the dead, fire and ice, dizzying starry skies and a man trying to find his foothold in the world.

Recensioni della critica

Cold penetrates Knausgaard’s new novel deeply. Not only is the weather freezing, but so are the characters’ interactions with one another. Knausgaard delivers a psychological tour-de-force
Knausgaard gives us a single conscious ness scrupulously attentive to the world and astonishingly evasive about itself...compelling
Knausgaard masterfully depicts the outer surroundings of a dark and frozen city down to the smallest detail, while at the same time luring the reader inward into a far more obscure landscape... Arendal has good drive and is exciting. The fact that the plot is more concentrated does not make the themes narrower or smaller, quite the opposite
Disturbing and obsessive
Sparkles in beautifully precise sentences and observations
