Recenzii
"Out of the ashes of his childhood and the cooling cinders of his youth, Knausgaard has fashioned a memoir that burns with the heat of life." --Christopher Byrd, "Barnes & Noble Review"
"One of the more affecting and resonant books I've read in quite some time . . . What's so striking about the book is the terrifying emotional frankness with which Knausgaard confronts his own history." --Alex Balk, "The Awl"
"Powerfully alive . . . Knausgaard is intense and utterly honest, unafraid to voice universal anxieties . . . He wants us to inhabit the ordinariness of life, which is sometimes visionary, sometimes banal, and sometimes momentous, but all of it perforce ordinary because it happens in the course of a life, and happens, in different forms, to everyone . . . There is something ceaselessly compelling about Knausgaard's book." -- James Wood, "The New Yorker" (selected as one of the Books of the Year)
"A fantastic novel . . . I cannot say anything other than that I am looking forward desperately to the rest of it." --"Dagsavisen "(Norway)
"Knausgaard's thinking is magnificently unbridled." --"Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung "(germany)
"Between Proust and the woods . . . Like granite, precise and forceful. More real than reality." --"La Repubblica "(Italy)
"I can't stop, I want to stop, I can't stop, just one more page, then I will cook dinner, just one more page . . ." --"Vasterbottens-kuriren "(Sweden)
"Perhaps the most significant literary enterprise of our time." -- "The Guardian" (UK)
"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." --"The New York Times Book Review"
Knausgaard has written one of those books so aesthetically forceful as to be revolutionary. Before, there was no "My Struggle"; now there is, and things are different. The digressiveness of Sebald or Proust is transposed into direct, unmetaphorical language. -- "The Paris Review"
."..It sounds like straightforward autobiography, but such is the power of its relentless comprehensiveness that it acquires an almost otherworldly quality..." -- "The Guardian" (A "Ten Best Long Read," alongside the likes of "Middlemarch", "Infinite Jest" and "2666")

"A six-volume literary experiment in which a contemporary Norwegian author describes his own life may sound dull. But Knausgaard's literary experiment is both brutally honest and far from dull. Trust me, it'll be worth waiting for volumes three through six to appear in English translation." -- Jo Nesbo, in "The Week" (one of Jo Nesbo's six favorite books)
"What's notable is Karl Ove's ability, rare these days, to be fully present in and mindful of his own existence. Every detail is put down without apparent vanity or decoration, as if the writing and the living are happening simultaneously. There shouldn't be anything remarkable about any of it except for the fact that it immerses you totally. You live his life with him. . . . The overweening absurdity of Ove's title is a bad joke that keeps coming back to you as you try to construct a life worthy of an adult. How to be more present, more mindful? Of ourselves, of others? "For "others?" -- Zadie Smith, "The New York Review of Books"
..".reading "My Struggle," you have the sense that Knausgaard has made a wonderful discovery, an almost scientific innovation. "My Struggle" is something new, something brave..." -- n + 1
..".It sounds like straightforward autobiography, but such is the power of its relentless comprehensiveness that it acquires an almost otherworldly quality..." -- "The Guardian" (A "Ten Best Long Read," alongside the likes of "Middlemarch," "Infinite Jest" and "2666")
"The book investigates the bottomless accumulation of mysteries everyday life imposes. . . Knausgaard's approach is plain and scrupulous, sometimes casual, yet he never writes down. His subject is the beauty and terror of the fact that all life coexists with itself. A living hero who landed on greatness by abandoning every typical literary feint, an emperor whose nakedness surpasses royal finery." -- Jonathan Lethem, "The Guardian""Perhaps the most significant literary enterprise of our time." -- "The Guardian" (UK)

"It would not be an exaggeration to say that Karl Ove Knausgaard's six-volume memoir "My Struggle" (Archipelago Books) -- of which three volumes have been translated into English -- has catapulted the Norwegian writer into the rarefied company of such authors as James Joyce, Marcel Proust and Henry Miller. These writers burst forth with a new consciousness and in so doing became the voice of their generation. Years hence we will be talking about Knausgaard's incredibly detailed memoir cycle doing the same for the late 20th century." -- "The Providence Journal

Descriere
Almost ten years have passed since Karl Ove Knausgaard's father drank himself to death. Vulnerable and assailed by doubts, he is now embarking on a new novel. With an uncanny eye for detail, Knausgaard breaks down his own life story to its elementary particles, reliving memories, reopening wounds, and examining with candor the turbulence and the epiphanies that emerge from his own experience of fatherhood, the fallout in the wake of his father's death, and his visceral connection to music, art, and literature. Karl Ove's dilemmas strike nerves that give us raw glimpses of our particular moment in history as we witness what happens to the sensitive and churning mind of a young man trying- as if his very life depended on it- to find his place in the disjointed world around him. This Proustian masterpiece opens a window into one of the most original minds writing today.
Intense and vital... The need for totality . . . brings superb, lingering, celestial passages . . .
The concluding sentences of the book [are] placid, plain, achieved. They have what Walter Benjamin called 'the epic side of truth, wisdom.' --James Wood, "The New Yorker"
"While not unconcerned with finding objective truth in the moments he recounts, Mr. Knausgaard aims first to simply record them, to try to shape the banal into something worth remembering. Beautifully rendered and, at times, painfully observant, his book does a superlative job of finding that "inner core of human existence." --"The Wall Street Journal"
Steadily absorbing, lit up by pages of startling insight and harrowing honesty, My Struggle introduces into world literature a singular character and immerses us in his fascinating Underground Man consciousness. -- Philip Lopate
Karl Ove--with his shyness, his passion, his honesty--can take on any subject and make it his own. -- Edmund White
I read both books [One and Two] hungrily and find myself already missing Knausgaard just a few days after turning A Man in Love's last page, searching the Web for inexpensive crash courses in Norwegian, mostly just wishing Volume Three were available in English now. --Jonathan Callahan, "The Millions"
Knausgaard's preternatural facility for description, the dreamy thickness of his prose, speaks not only to the sheer pleasure his fiction affords, but to the philosophical stakes of that pleasure. -- Mark Sussman, "Los Angeles Review of Books"
