So Much Longing in So Little Space

Focusing on the artist Edvard Munch, Karl Ove Knausgaard reflects on the essence of art and creativity, how an artist?s work can transcend time, how we live with art, our personal response to it and how it influences his own writing. Knausgaard visits Munch?s house and interviews Munch experts and a series of artists - among them Vanessa Baird and Anselm Kiefer - drawing on ideas of truth, originality, memory, art and literature. While a standalone, the book complements a major exhibition at the Munch Museum, Oslo, curated by Knausgaard.
