“Poignant and beautiful ... Even if you think you won’t like Knausgaard, try this one and you’ll get him and get why some of us have gone crazy for him.”
— Los Angeles Review of Books
“Knausgaard has assembled this living encyclopedia for his daughter with a wild and desperate sort of love, as a way to forge her attachment to the world, to fasten her to it—to fight the family legacy of becoming unmoored and alienated. Fall in love with the world, he enjoins, stay sensitive to it, stay in it.”
— The New York Times
“Knausgaard’s assets are on full display, including his precise writing style and his unerring sense of detail. He is constantly attuned to his surroundings, noting the changing weather and the colors of flowers, which may account for why he is so successful at what he does: transforming quotidian life into drama... . For anyone who is curious about this writer but has not felt the urge to invest in the full 3,500 pages of his autobiographical series, My Struggle , Spring makes for an excellent introduction. It is the shortest book he has ever written, but it is all muscle, a generous slice of a thoughtful, ruminative life.”
— The Washington Post
“A fine stand-alone meditation on mortality and fatherhood.”
— Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“This is a remarkably honest take on the strange linkages between love, loss, laughter, and self-destruction, a perfect distillation of Knausgaard’s unique gifts.”
— Publishers Weekly (starred review)
