'The Morning Star' is a novel by the Norwegian author Karl Ove Knausgrd, published in 2020.[https://oktober.no/morgenstjernen Morgenstjernen] Forlaget Oktober (in Norwegian)
The novel is the story of a number of people's everyday life in Srlandet and Vestlandet while an extraordinarily bright and large star suddenly appears in the sky. It was Knausgrd's first major novel after his autobiographical 'My Struggle' series. Knausgrd said that a main idea of the novel was to depict how reality and the same events is perceived differently by different people.[https://www.vg.no/rampelys/bok/i/vQq7lX/knausgaard-skrev-ferdig-ny-roman-under-lockdown-i-london Knausgrd skrev ferdig ny roman under lockdown i London] VG 15 May 2020 (in Norwegian) The Norwegian publisher described it as "a novel about what we do not understand, about great drama seen through the limited lens of little lives. But first and foremost, it is a novel about what happens when the dark forces in the world are set free."
