/lit/ - Literature

I remember seeing threads about Karl Ove Knausgaard's deciding to name his book "My Struggle," but nothing about whether it was any good. Was it?

I wish I had his hair.

>"Out of the world" is a story that is extraordinarily interesting to read in light of " My match 4 " and the debatearound the author's admit that he kissed one of his 13 year old students while himself as a young man was a teacher in northern Norway. And the speculation about what is self-perceived and what is fiction has never really stopped, though the author himself insists that the actions in the book "Out of the World" have not had anything to do with his own experiences

Wtf I hate Knausgard now!?!

My mom told me to buy this guy's book for my father this christmas. I never heard of him.

Who is him, what do you think of it /lit/?

Why does every woman want to ride his dick then? Also even if you don't accept the shabby handsomeness, you can't deny that he looks cooler than every other writer ITT.

>Be me
>Get dragged to Black Bear (hipster bar in Brooklyn) by girlfriend
>It's the Norwegian Literary Festival
>Bunch of manbuns and knit caps crammed into a hot barroom with some blond chick on stage recounting the time she was date-raped in pretentious post-modern fashion
>Notice a tall, homeless-looking guy in a sport coat, drinking beer in a corner
>Blond lady finishes; announcer guy says there's a five minute break between speakers
>DJ cues up Jackson Five: "Blame It On The Boogie"
>Immediately homeless dude starts dancing in hilarious disco fashion - is REALLY good. Like five points below Travolta good
>Dance circle forms around homeless guy; crowd is clapping and chanting "KARL OVE, KARL OVE..."
>Am looking around room, wondering if I've entered David Lynch film
>Four minutes later homeless guy gets on stage and reads a five minute story about chewing gum
>Go home with girlfriend. We don't have sex.
>Year later, read "Autumn." Very good. Homeless guy is multi-talented. 7/10 writer; 9/10 dancer.

Why the hate? Part 2 ain't that bad desu.
