My Struggle: Book One

My Struggle: Book One by Karl Ove Knausgaard.

Karl Ove Knausgaard begins an autobiographical novel committed to the intimate details of ordinary experience. Death, love, fear and artistic ambition appear within the texture of daily life rather than apart from it.

Read it for the consequences of refusing to dismiss the apparently insignificant. The book invites a discussion of where candor becomes art and what such candor asks of the other people who enter a writer's account.
