Description
The full scope and achievement of Knausgaard's monumental work is evident in this final installment of his My Struggle series. Grappling directly with the consequences of Knausgaard's transgressive blurring of public and private Book Six is a troubling and engrossing look into the mind of one of the most exciting artists of our time. Knausgaard includes a long essay on Hitler and Mein Kampf, particularly relevant (if not prescient) in our current global climate of ascending dictatorships.
Advance Praise
• "Perhaps the most significant literary enterprise of our time." - The Guardian
• "Intense and vital... Knausgaard is utterly honest, unafraid to voice universal anxieties... Superb, lingering, celestial passages... [with] what Walter Benjamin called the 'epic side of truth, wisdom'." - James Wood, The New Yorker
• "My Struggle is candid and compulsively readable, with moments of searing insight and bold shifts through narrative time. Its scope is both ambitious and modest; its range aggressive and tender." -VICE
• "Why would you read a six-volume, 3,600-page Norwegian novel about a man writing a six-volume, 3,600-page Norwegian novel? The short answer is that it is breathtakingly good, and so you cannot stop yourself, and would not want to... Arrestingly beautiful." - Leland de la Durantaye, The New York Times Book Review
• "With each subsequent book of his that is translated into English, Mr. Knausgaard continues to solidify his reputation as one of the most vital writers working today." -The Observer
• "My Struggle is unexpectedly entrancing - the combination of detail and intimacy creates an illusion of being inside somebody else's brain... My Struggle is worth the, uh, struggle." -GQ
• "Karl Ove Knausgaard. My Struggle. It's unbelievable. I just read 200 pages of it and I need the next volume like crack." -Zadie Smith
