Waterstones Deansgate is delighted to welcome Karl Ove Knausgaard to Manchester for the launch of his new non-fiction collection, Autumn.

Autumn begins with a letter Karl Ove Knausgaard writes to his unborn daughter. He adds one short piece per day, describing the material and natural world with the precision and mesmerising intensity that have become his trademark. This tender and deeply personal book is beautifully illustrated by Vanessa Baird, and is the first of four volumes marvelling at the vast, unknowable universe around us.

Karl Ove will be in conversation with Dr Kaye Mitchell, Senior Lecturer and Co-Director of Manchester University's Centre For New Writing.

Tickets are £15 and include a copy of Autumn. For more information, email events.manchester@waterstones.com or tweet @waterstonesmcr

We look forward to seeing you there.

Price: £15
