My Struggle Volume 4. Comfy as fuck descriptions of teaching in a small northern Norwegian town, mainly with him drinking himself stupid and trying to get laid.

Runner up goes to Volume 5, which features him as a writing program student in a comfy college setting. Knausgaard made me love reading again DESU.

There’s one story where the narrator gets lost and happens upon a campfire where a bunch of peasant kids have taken the villages horses out to graze. He lies down by the campfire and just listens to the kids talk and tell each other ghost stories.
