The School of Night

Description

Night and blood were unchanged, night and blood had been with us always. The utterly gripping new novel from the internationally bestselling author of A Death in the Family.

Night and blood were unchanged, night and blood had been with us always.

In the summer of 1985, Kristian Hadeland leaves his life in Norway behind and moves to London to study photography. Kristian is twenty years old, ruthless and ambitious. He is determined to make his mark, whatever the cost to those around him. A chance meeting with Hans, a Dutch artist obsessed with technology, and Vivian, who is staging Christopher Marlowe's Doctor Faustus, will open up new possibilities for Kristian, as he mercilessly pursues his career to the heights of success.

Electrifying, thrilling and confronting, The School of Night is a novel about how art is created and about how human life is destroyed. It is the story of one terrible man's rise and fall, and the forces that surround us all, both the light and the dark.

Praise for Karl Ove Knausgaard:

'One of the most genuinely suspenseful, alluring books I've ever read' Brandon Taylor
'Addictive.' Daily Telegraph
'Brilliant storytelling... Epic.' Independent
'As accessible and creepy as anything by Stephen King and as addictive as your favourite TV drama' Spectator

The School of Night is set in the Morning Star universe.
