'Twas a struggle indeed.

>the best piece of Norwegian literature is some pretentious multi volumed autobiography by some 40 year old man

What happened to get to this point my guys?

it is on the wrong side of the line between vanity and art

Hamsun shits all over him

Don't know any other norwegian authors. Who are some interesting ones?

The best Norwegian writers are Hamsun and Ibsen, bucko. Claiming that Knausgård is the best Norwegian writer is as ignorant as claiming that Franzen is the best American writer.

no one in their right minds considers his work the best piece of norwegian literature

Read volume 1 last month. Don't really understand all the fuss about it, nothing ever happens. Sure, sometimes you identify with the subtle feelings implied in his actions throughout the book, but besides that, it's not worth it.

His thoughts on death at the beginning of the book are pretty good btw.

>Woe is me.

Can we leave the sub /tv/-tier "what should I think of this [x]?" threads at the door please?
