| book description |

London. 1985. A city rife with possibility and desire. One young man who wants it all. Kristian Hadeland, newly arrived in the city, seethes with ambition and contempt. His family in Norway never understood him; his fellow photography students bore him. But he knows he and his art are destined for more. Then he meets Hans, an eccentric Dutch artist. With Hans, the future Kristian yearns for is tangible. All art is possible. Any line can be crossed. But success comes at a price. And when Kristian does the unthinkable, will he be prepared to pay it? Electrifying and unflinching, The School of Night is a singular novel about artistic creation and human corruption. It is the story of one terrible man's rise and fall, and a reckoning with the darkest parts of human nature. PRAISE FOR KARL OVE KNAUSGAARD: ‘Absorbs you utterly’ Sunday Times ‘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 ‘Knausgaard is among the finest writers alive’’ New York Times The School of Night is set in the Morning Star universe.
