A family of fourโmother, father, and two boysโmove to the south coast of Norway, to a new house on a newly developed site. It is the early 1970s and the familyโs trajectory is upwardly mobile: the future seems limitless. In painstaking, sometimes self-lacerating detail, Karl Ove Knausgaard paints a world familiar to anyone who can recall the intensity and novelty of childhood experience, one in which children and adults lead parallel lives that never meet. Perhaps the most Proustian in the series, My Struggle: Book 3 gives us Knausgaardโs vivid, technicolor recollections of childhood, his emerging self-understanding, and the multilayered nature of timeโs passing, memory, and existence.
