The School of Night

The fourth novel in Knausgaard's Morning Star series follows Kristian Hadeland, a young Norwegian photographer who moves to London in 1985 and, driven by boundless ambition, makes a Faustian bargain that shapes the next two decades of his life. When his past catches up with him at a major New York retrospective, the price of his success becomes impossible to ignore. A dark, macabre twist on Marlowe's Doctor Faustus.
