The Seasons Quartet (Norwegian: Årstid-encyklopedien, lit. 'The Season Encyclopedia') is four autobiographical novels by the Norwegian writer Karl Ove Knausgård, published by Forlaget Oktober in 2015 and 2016. The books consist of observations, diary entries, short essays and meditations on everyday occurrences and items, family life and locations around Knausgård's home in rural Scania. They are written as a father's attempt to pass on his knowledge about lived reality to his daughter, starting before her birth and continuing while she is an infant.[1][2][3][4]
