But the absorbing prose is filled with literary references. ‘My Struggle’ is a work of brutal, harrowing honesty about a normal, irritable man’s life.I was a little obsessed with Karl Ove Knausgård a few years ago. But, still, it’s very much read like a man’s book, and men relate to it. I very much enjoyed the dry honesty of Looooooooooooong, with points of startling honesty.
It said, you know, “A bag of bottles of beer in the snow.” I always wanted to write about that.But from the second book on I never thought, I have to write about that moment. He is writing auto-fiction, technically termed. Book 5 was written in eight weeks. I give the book 4 stars out of 5.This man writes without hesitation. Art is a form of negotiation between our ideas of the world and the world. It makes it possible for us to see ourselves, because we’re no longer inside the expected but somewhere else—and from there we can see the world as we think it is.
Start by marking “My Struggle (#1, #2, #3)” as Want to Read:
The sublime is the perspective outside of us, which I feel is more and more lost in our time, because we’re more interconnected and less outside, and there’s no God anymore. When the editor in me wondered why his editor didn't draw a big fat red line at times. If you write fast, you feel like you’re entering something not yet familiar—a world rather than thoughts about the world. Most of his focus revolves around his relationship with his father.
The writing is excellent. It’s one thing to read about the myths of history, to feel their pull, and quite another to see those myths unfold in the real world, as Handke’s mother did, being Austrian during the war. It’s strange that, with three small children and limited time, I wrote so many pages a day while, before, when I spent all the time I wanted on writing, and even lived on isolated islands and in remote lighthouses, I hardly wrote anything. Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account. When the novel was rejected, I lost belief both in myself and in speed. It was because it gave my writing a more direct access to the world around me. These books are very honestly and intimately written about the ordinary, the everyday, but his insight, his depth of examination of his life is extraordinary. A couple of things to get out of the way first: although this paperback edition from Vintage calls itself “Fiction” on the back next to the price, the blurb, just above, says “Karl Ove Knausgaard writes about his life with painful honesty.” And so it seems: on page 27 we learn that “I, Karl Ove Knausgaard, was born in December 1968, and at the time of writing I am 39 years old. From Book 1: My Struggle: Book One introduces American readers to the audacious, addictive, and profoundly surprising international literary sensation that is the provocative and brilliant six-volume autobiographical novel by Karl Ove Knausgaard. But, on the other hand, there’s a lot of love for them in the book. I started to polish the car instead of driving it—and, obviously, when you polish your car, you don’t get anywhere, no matter how nice the car looks.I spent six years after my first novel and five years after my second without getting into a new book. However K.O.K. The question is whether, like Handke, you can represent the world more truthfully when you don’t use the conventional tricks of the novel. Goodreads helps you keep track of books you want to read. It has to do with identity, and with what it is to be “something.” And, for me, masculine identity was something that I was standing outside of when I grew up. I will never get rid of it. And I said yes.No, no, it was nothing to do with that. I give the book 4 stars out of 5.I'll avoid rating this book because for some reason, Goodreads only has all three of them rather than the first one which is the one I read. Knausgaard reveals what most of us keep hidden. His presence is different when he has a name—it’s a connection to the real world. His artistic project in My Struggle may be viewed, in one respect, as an argument for art, rather than politics, as the proper place to explore the transcendent. The last time I was in New York I bought a book: Kierkegaard’s “Jesus says you should be like the birds, and then you can enter the kingdom of God. That surprised me very much, and still does. Which text is more truthful? I thought it was suitable because that’s what the book was: my struggle. To create our lis...I was a little obsessed with Karl Ove Knausgård a few years ago. I think it must have been painful to be him, and drinking was a way of getting away, of getting out.And there’s also a pull in me—away from home and into art, for instance—that I fear. It has to be like that, and it should be like that . I think it was hard to see then, and easier to see now—people were hurt, and it was terrible for them when it was happening, but, still, it wasn’t the end of the world. . A life-changing book for me in terms of a novel's form. I, Karl Ove Knausgaard, was born in December 1968, and at the time of writing I am thirty-nine years old. My Struggle is, in a way, entirely self-reflection -- all the other figures, even the father, remain other: with Knausgaard unable (and/or unwilling) to delve or probe into these characters. But, I brought up Kierkegaard’s discussion of the birds because I think the same: being present, being present in a moment, that’s the beginning of the kingdom of God.
