A brilliantly wide-ranging essay collection from the author of My Struggle, spanning literature, philosophy, art and how our daily and creative lives intertwine. In the Land of the Cyclops is Karl Ove Knausgaard's first collection of essays to be published in English, and these brilliant and wide-ranging pieces meditate on themes familiar from his groundbreaking fiction. Here, Knausgaard discusses Madame Bovary, the Northern Lights, Ingmar Bergman, and the work of an array of writers and visual artists, including Knut Hamsun, Michel Houellebecq, Anselm Kiefer and Cindy Sherman. These essays beautifully capture Knausgaard's ability to mediate between the deeply personal and the universal, demonstrating his trademark self-scrutiny and his deep longing to authentically see, understand, and ex...
A quarante ans, Karl Ove Knausgaard est sur le point de devenir un auteur reconnu a travers le monde entier. Il partage son quotidien entre l'écriture de ce qui sera son grand oeuvre et l'éducation de ses trois enfants en bas âge. Sa vie a Malmö est réglée comme du papier a musique. Jusqu'a ce que son oncle s'oppose a la publication de cette autobiographie. L'interdit remet en cause la seule certitude de Knausgaard : celle de son destin d'écrivain. Pour s'accomplir en tant qu'homme et pere, il doit raconter son histoire, sans rien taire.
In this final novel in the My Struggle cycle, Karl Ove Knausgaard examines life, death, love and literature with unsparing rigour and begins to count the cost of his project. The End reflects on the fallout from the earlier books, with Knausgaard facing the pressures of literary acclaim and its often shattering repercussions. It is at once a meditation on writing and its relationship with reality, and an account of a writer?s relationship with himself ? from his ambitions to his doubts and frailties.
Childhood is exhilarating and terrifying. For the young Karl Ove, new houses, classes and friends are met with manic excitement and creeping dread. Adults occupy godlike positions of power, benevolent in the case of his doting mother, tyrannical in the case of his cruel father. In the now infamously direct style of the My Struggle cycle, Knausgaard describes a time in which victories and defeats are felt keenly and every attempt at self-definition is frustrated. This is a book about family, memory and how we never become quite what we set out to be.
