Items related to A Death in the Family: My Struggle Book 1
In this utterly remarkable novel Karl Ove Knausgaard writes with painful honesty 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.
A Death in the Family is a Proustian exploration of his past, in which Knausgaard creates a universal story of the struggles, great and small, that we all face in our lives. A Death in the Family is a profoundly serious, gripping and hugely readable work written as if the author's very life were at stake.

Review:
Honest, probably unparalleled in its approach and revelations. It will cause you to reflect deeply after you've completed it... I think Knausgaard s memoirs are likely to have a long rippling effect the more widely they are published and read --Bookgeeks
Book Description:
An international phenomenon, which has been declared a masterpiece everywhere it has been published. A searingly honest, addictive and controversial read.
