Publisher Description
My Struggle 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. 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.

"‘The novel is the form of the small life,’ [Knausgaard] says in Book Six. Yet it can be the form of the large life too; and even the story of a small life must offer more than mere documentation. In Knausgaard’s defense, one could say that he convinces us that, behind his small lives, something much bigger is hiding. From time to time, his plodding style changes gear, taking his readers up into the realm of the sublime.”
— Los Angeles Review of Books
Quotes
-
“For fans addicted to the first five books, Book Six is a welcome return to the microscopic observations and internal ramblings of a gargantuan mind. For readers coming to the series for the first time, it’s an encyclopedic introduction to everything that went before.”
— Washington Independent Review of Books -
“What is perhaps most radical about reading the novel is the feeling of intimacy it creates…Knausgaard’s virtuoso exposition of awkward everyday social interactions is unmatched in contemporary literature.”
— World Literature Today -
“The rationale for his project comes into brilliant focus. This volume is a thrilling conclusion to Knausgaard’s epic series.”
