Karl Ove Knausgaard joins us to discuss his latest collection of personal essays Autumn, which is the first book in a series based on the four seasons. The book begins with a letter to his unborn daughter. He writes one short piece each day, describing the world, daily life with his family, and childhood memories.

Karl Ove Knausgaard will appear in conversation with Katie Kitamura at St. Joseph’s College (245 Clinton Ave. in Brooklyn) as part of a partnership with Greenlight Bookstore on Sept. 14 at 7:30 p.m.
