Finished reading: The Third Realm A Novel by Karl Ove Knausgaard 📚

The third book in the Morning Star series, nine narrators again, but mostly new voices. Many of them were on the edges of The Morning Star, and now they get their turn. Knausgaard is an incredible writer and storyteller. I have loved all three books.
