If no one ever died, what would happen then?
For several days, a bright new star in the sky above Norway has blazed over the restless lives of those below. Tove, an artist, is consumed by intense creativity as she spirals towards psychosis. Line falls in love with a musician named Valdemar and is lured to a secret death metal gig in a remote forest. Geir, a policeman, is investigating a ritual murder but chances upon something more horrifying even than the bodies in the trees - the last bodies he sees, because, as undertaker Syvert is the first to realise, people have stopped dying since the star appeared.
What is haunting the world - and why?
As profound as it is thrilling, Karl Ove Knausgaard's The Third Realm is a breathtaking novel about ordinary lives on the cusp of irrevocable change.
PRAISE FOR KARL OVE KNAUSGAARD:
'Addictive' Daily Telegraph
'Knausgaard retains the ability to lock you, as if in a tractor beam, into his storytel ling' New York Times
'Casts an existential spell. . . captivating' Financial Times
Rezension:
As throughout the series, Knausgaard is using everyday people to explore knotty questions about God's existence, our need for spiritual connection, and the fine line between religious devotion and mental illness . . . Readers who come to this book first will find an entertaining story about people sorting through spiritual, domestic, and emotional confusion. But those who've read the prior novels will get a deeper sense of just how fascinating, frustrating, and unknowable we can be to each other, and the consequences of that disconnection.
