This is pretty bleak to me, did he do it just for the money?

Is he any good?
Also looking for great contemporary novels any suggestions?

>WAAAH MY DAD WAS MEAN
>WAAAH THE SWEDES ARE TOO SMUG
>WAAAH I AM A WRITER

Can you recommend me anything by this man? I want to read him just because he seems handsome.

Can I just write about my boring, noneventful life and become a bestseller?

just give him the nobel prize already

And a really bad writer will also write about a guy sitting at a table writing a grocery list

Thoughts on Karl Ove? good literature?

Knausgaard is the only real-name author that has produced a text this last decade that we already know will become a classic. He's read by pretty much everyone with an interest in modern literature.

Yet, it's rarely discussed on /lit/. What's up with that?

Also, for all you nazis out there, the magnum opus referenced is literally called, or translated to, "Mein Kampf", so there's that.

the GOAT?

thoughts on this guy?

Does this board like Knausgard? I used to see him posted about around 2015 but not anymore since he finished My Struggle.

For those who have read Knausgaard's ' My Struggle', how would you rank each book from best to worst?

Is Knausgaard good? What would you compare him to?
I checked the archive but surprisingly didn't find anything.

or is he memeish?

Publish it anyway.

>THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT 11:35 p.m. on CBS. Bryan Cranston talks about playing Dalton Trumbo, the blacklisted screenwriter, in a new movie. Karl Ove Knausgaard chats about being honored at the New York Public Library’s Lions Gala. And Shamir performs.

Why wasn't KOK on Colbert yesterday?

it says on wikipeadia that karl ove revived a lukewarm reception in paris bc of the strong tradition of autofiction in french as opposed to English. but is this really true? i think america has a p strong tradition of auto fiction, in fact the most typically american author (Kerouac) comes to mind as a possibly antecedent to karl ove, also the guy lit always talks about might be working in the same lineage.

What do you think about pic rel?

Recently, with Karl Ove Knausgard when reading Min Kamp 1.
