My Struggle: Part 1 – Karl Ove Knausgaard

One of Norway’s most successful contemporary authors

Knausgaard is one of the most successful contemporary authors that we have in Norway. His big breakthrough came with the six book series of My Struggle. These novels are about the author’s background and development.

In the My Struggle books Knausgaard provides very detailed, approachable, “brutally honest” and “ultra-personal” descriptions of a number of specific episodes and people from his own past and present. Warning, this is addictive reading, and if you start on the first book, I’m pretty sure you’ll end up reading all six 🙂

“It has already been anointed a Proustian masterpiece and is the rare work of dazzling literary originality that is intensely, irresistibly readable. Unafraid of the big issues―death, love, art, fear―and yet committed to the intimate details of life as it is lived, My Struggle is an essential work of contemporary literature.”
