Photo: Solve Sunsbo for D2, Penguin Press Karl Ove Knausgaard is no longer living consistently in the realm of myth and magic that populates his newest novel, The Third Realm, out now from Penguin Press.

Unless your novel is immediately shortlisted for the National Book Award or the Booker Prize there will be, sooner or later, a feeling of let-down following its publication.

Typically contemplative for Knausgaard, but unusually propulsive as well. Knausgaard delves deeper into the lives of Norwegians affected by the emergence of a new heavenly body. This novel is a continuation of the series launched with The Morning Star (2021) and The Wolves of Eternity (2023). Though perhaps “remix” is a better term: The book covers many of the same incidents in the previous novels, but from different characters’ perspectives.
