“This lightness of touch may surprise his longtime fans, especially considering the weight of some of the topics he covers.... But his ability to weave questions, reflections, and conclusions into such small spaces is often beautiful.... When reading these essays, I sometimes paused to ask if Knausgaard was pulling the wool over my eyes with the beauty [of] his prose alone. But no, he doesn’t.... Winter reaches at emotions and common experiences that lay dusty in all of us.”
— Chicago Review of Books
“The author casts the world in a holy glow of surprise and compassion.... A winningly interior journey into the most interior of seasons.”
— Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“One of the most satisfying elements of [Knausgaard’s] writing is the rendering of what it is like to be alive, to be a person in the world, whether alone or among people, to walk around as thoughts develop, or to hatch plans with others and participate in activities as a separate being and as part of a whole.”
— The Brooklyn Rail
“I’d have to say that he’s awakened a tempest in me.... Knausgaard wrote these essays, he said in an interview,‘for fun.’And they are fun... and stunning and glorious.... It’s the seemingly endless stirring of his thoughts about the wide world out there that helps to stir ours.”
— The Christian Science Monitor
“Every child should be as fortunate as Knausgaard’s daughter will be some day to have stories like these to usher them into the world.”
