About this product
Product Information
The fifth book of Knausgaard's powerful My Struggle series is written with tremendous force and sincerity. As a nineteen-year-old, Karl Ove moves to Bergen and invests all of himself in his writing. But his efforts get the opposite effect - he wants it so much that he gets writer's block. At the same time, he sees his friends, one-by-one, publish their debuts. He suspects that he will never get anything published. Book Five is also a book about strong new friendships and a shattering love affair. Then one day Karl Ove reaches two crucial points in his life: his father dies, and shortly thereafter, he completes his first novel.

Reviews
"Perhaps the most significant literary enterprise of our time." - The Guardian "Intense and vital... Knausgaard is utterly honest, unafraid to voice universal anxieties... Superb, lingering, celestial passages... [with] what Walter Benjamin called the 'epic side of truth, wisdom'." - James Wood, The New Yorker "My Struggle is candid and compulsively readable, with moments of searing insight and bold shifts through narrative time. Its scope is both ambitious and modest; its range aggressive and tender." -VICE "Why would you read a six-volume, 3,600-page Norwegian novel about a man writing a six-volume, 3,600-page Norwegian novel? The short answer is that it is breathtakingly good, and so you cannot stop yourself, and would not want to... Arrestingly beautiful." - Leland de la Durantaye, The New York Times Book Review "With each subsequent book of his that is translated into English, Mr. Knausgaard continues to solidify his reputation as one of the most vital writers working today." - The Observer " My Struggle is unexpectedly entrancing - the combination of detail and intimacy creates an illusion of being inside somebody else's brain... My Struggle is worth the, uh, struggle." - GQ "Karl Ove Knausgaard. My Struggle . It's unbelievable. I just read 200 pages of it and I need the next volume like crack." -Zadie Smith "Knausgaard pushed himself to do something that hadn't quite been done before. He broke the sound barrier of the autobiographical novel." - Jeffrey Eugenides "By exposing every last detail of his life, Karl Ove Knausgaard became your favorite author's new favorite author." -Evan Hughes, The New Republic "If the function of literature is to take you out of your own life and involve you in someone else's then My Struggle is literature... gripping. " --The Sunday Times "A masterpiece of staggering originality, the literary event of the century... Life here and now, examined at a fever pitch, daily recollections recounted in exhausting but exhilarating detail." -- The Wichita Eagle "So what is it that has led fellow authors to rave about Knausgaard and hail him as literary pioneer? The answer lies in the intensity of focus he brings to the subject of his life. He seems to punch a hole in the wall between the writer and reader, breaking through to a form of micro-realism and emotional authenticity that makes other novels seem contrived, 'made up', irrelevant... Whether he's writing about his adult alienation at a toddler's birthday party or the memory of trying to get hold of alcohol as a teenager on New Year's Eve, Knausgaard is prepared to go into extraordinary sensuous detail... the overall effect is utterly hypnotic." -Andrew Anthony, The Observer

Just as described. Very happy to find the special edition of this book at a great price. It came mostly sealed, except where it got marked. There’s a small red dot on the bottom; not noticeable when I open the book. All the extras are there. Very happy with my purchase. Great seller!

I’ve purchased from the seller many times because they usually have fair pricing. Unfortunately they use poor packaging materials and books often get damaged and shipping. Three separate times, I have had hardcover books arrived damaged. Seller has been accommodating when this happens and has sent replacement, but this time, even the replacement book arrived with significant damage. Avoiding the seller, just not worth the hassle.
