Summer is the fourth volume of the Seasons quartet, a collection of short prose & diaries written by a father for his youngest daughter, with stunning artwork by Anselm Kiefer. Your voice woke me up around eight this morning, it sounded unusually close, since, as I discovered upon opening my eyes, you were lying in our bed. You smiled at me & began talking. I made coffee & had a smoke in the office before I ate breakfast with you, & when your mother got up, I came in here to write a new piece. In Summer, Karl Ove Knausgaard writes about long days full of sunlight, eating ice cream with his children, lawn sprinklers & ladybirds. He experiments with the beginnings of a novel & keeps a diary in which the small events of his family`s life are recorded. Against a canvas of memories, longings, & experiences of art & literature, he searches for the meaning of moments as they pass us by. ...

J. M. Coetzee’s “ Summertime” is another example of why this author in particular has won both the Booker Prize & the Nobel Prize for Literature. A young English biographer is working on a book about the late writer, John Coetzee. He plans to focus on a period in the seventies when, the biographer senses, Coetzee was `finding his feet as a writer`. The biographer embarks on a series of interviews with people who were important to Coetzee – a married woman with whom he had an affair, his favourite cousin Margot, a Brazilian dancer whose daughter had English lessons with him, former friends & colleagues. Thus emerges a portrait of the young Coetzee as an awkward, bookish individual, regarded as an outsider within the family. His insistence on doing manual work, his long hair & beard, & rumours that he writes poetry evoke nothing but suspicion in the South Africa of the time. “ Summertime” shows us a great writer as he completes the majestic trilogy of fictionalised memoir begun with “ Boyhood” & “ Youth”. ...

When poet Andrew Greig was asked by Scottish mountaineer Mal Duff to join his ascent of the Mustagh Tower in the Karakoram Himalayas, he had a poor head for heights & no climbing experience whatsoever. The result is this unique book. ” Summit Fever” has been loved by climbers & literary critics alike for its refreshing candour, wit, insight & the haunting beauty of its writing. Much more than a book about climbing, it celebrates the risk, joy & adventure of being alive. ...
