A New York Times bestseller, My Struggle: Book 1 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.
