My friend recommended this 6 book series. It starts off on a meditation on death, and hiding death. It has a vivid memory of being a kid. He talks about being a father and comes to the conclusion, "I am probably as far from the person I aspire to as possible." This autobiographical novel is starting to grow on me. Knausgaard is like Roth , nothing is off limits, but Karl Ove doesn’t think his shit doesn’t stink, nor does he worry about his reputation after he’s dead.
