"A stunningly eloquent set of reflections on masculinity, domesticity and the artist's itch to escape" (Independent)

"Imagine our joy when Vintage announced that it is publishing a collection of easily digestible books from the world?s most celebrated writers on the experiences that make us human? They look good and read well. That?s win/win in our book." (Stylist)

How to be a good father? Children?s birthday parties, unsuccessful family holidays, humiliating antenatal music classes: the trials of parenthood are all found in Knausgaard?s compelling and honest account of family life. Contrasting moments of enormous love and tenderness towards his children with the boring struggles of domesticity, this is one father?s personal experience, and somehow, every father?s too.

Selected from the book A Man in Love by Karl Ove Knausgaard
