Discover the Penguin books that shaped us

An exciting epic, dark and challenging

The School of NIght is a good place to start for anyone who hasn't read Knausgaard before

As exciting as a crime story, with surprising twists and an occasional biblical darkness

A rare page-turner...an indisputable triumph and a significant further development of the flexible, unpredictable form the Morning Star series has taken and become... With The School of Night l we are finally approaching just that, a radically new way of writing and thinking about a novel.

Knausgaard is back: Devilishly dark and at times wildly funny... one of the most completely unsympathetic characters I've encountered between two covers. Knausgaard's ability to paint this personality is unsurpassed... All details, digressions and references are cleverly screwed together, and the result a diabolical heist novel
