A propos du livre

Quatrième de couverture :

‘A scorchingly honest, unflinchingly frank, hyperreal memoir of the life of one man and his family’ Guardian
Karl Ove Knausgaard writes about his life with painful honesty. He writes about his childhood and teenage years, his infatuation with rock music, his relationship with his loving yet almost invisible mother and his distant and unpredictable father, and his bewilderment and grief on his father’s death.
When Karl Ove becomes a father himself, he must balance the demands of caring for a young family with his determination to write great literature. Knausgaard has created a universal story of the struggles, great and small, that we all face in our lives. A profoundly serious and mesmerizing work, written as if the author’s very life were at stake.
‘A masterpiece... Meticulously detailed, harrowing, oddly beautiful, its depiction of a family’s disintegration is one of the most powerful pieces of writing I’ve read in years’ Observer
‘Bowled me over... The slow pace of disclosure makes this account of a Norwegian adolescence pulse with intensity’ Independent
