Inductive Knausgaard -- A Reader's Commentary: Book 1 -- A Death in the Family

by Jeremy Hickerson

This commentary reveals how and why Knausgaard's memoir-as-novel works, digging deep into the text itself and drawing from the rich, detailed world revealed across the six volumes and 3600 pages of My Struggle. See how Knausgaard, initially a failure as a writer, and then a sort of journeyman novelist, unconsciously uses dramatic elements from his own life to create a powerful new form of literature.

Book one in the series, covering Knausgaard's Book 1 - A Death in the Family. Releases coming soon for the rest of the My Struggle books.Cover Tromøy Church, By Friman - Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0,
