Horror's Greatest Hits
Jim Nail asked this question about My Struggle: Book Two:
Does anybody really know why Karl Ove Knausgaard gave his book(s) the same title as Hitler's infamous volume? I just started Volume 2 and really digging it, but every now and then he throws in something about some people from another culture looking oddly out of place in the crowd, and it makes me nervous. His work seems much more personal than political, and these references would probably otherwise go unnoticed.
Sara Alexandra That's a very interesting point. However, after reading the interview, I truly believe that Karl Ove is referring to his fight only in personal terms.…moreThat's a very interesting point. However, after reading the interview, I truly believe that Karl Ove is referring to his fight only in personal terms. No doubt. I don't see a reason to over read the parts where he refers to people from another culture. He is the first one living in another culture, and I sympathize with that feeling of alienation, since I am currently living in the same situation. (less)
