The Part About Fate; the supposed plot is all centred around this boxing match, Fate driving down to Mexico for it…the actual fight’s description is a short paragraph.

A prelim fight got triple that. That means the section sure ain’t about the fight, it’s about Fate..

Really not loving it.

The style is interesting, very mater of fact and real. But that shows the blemishes too, it pushes them right in my face, continually. Everything feels annoying and rtd

Not sure how it’s enjoyed

As always, when there’s a shift the first while reading is easy. Feeling close to the end of the Hitler now fr fr

A break from Hitler for about 80 pages, going into art and the divine, very nice!

Got past the close reading of the poem. It was HARD. The following transition into the actual Hitler is so much more fun to read.

More family stuff. Talking about the switch and redefined need for Linda, very beautiful and sad feeling. Excited for the Hitler essay!

Back into the book again after a long break. School stress got in the way.

Took a while to get my mind in the space to read this. It’s dense! Not easy going memoir like the first couple. Coming close to the Hitler essay, but Karl has some marital stuff to go over first.

Loving the little essays that are spurred from every day occurrences. Can’t remember if this was how the earlier books worked

Nighttime on the first night with his kids alone. He’s going over Gunnar’s emails, questioning his own legitimacy. Going over events of the first book and questioning where, and how he came to their certainty in his head.

Back to the “present day,” Karl Ove is talking about the process of publishing the first books of the series, and the restraints on it. Like they wouldn’t allow it to be published as one big book. So he was able to reflect on what he wrote, and put more introspective meta portions into the works

Conscientious objection to military service leads Karl Ove back to university to work at the radio station. He’s coming on 25, and has just met Tonje at the Christmas party…

Eeee part 7, done the writing academy bit.

Of course it ended with a string of drunken fuck ups that felt scary and sickening

Yngve is seeing Ingvald, after Karl had been writing her for months, and crushing on her. Kinda fucked! But also very in the moment, and childish, it’s interesting

Wowh Karl Ove did the sex

I always like the last 100 pages of these. They speed up and are really fun reads. He definitely emulates Bukowski in the last few pages

Back to Northern Norway at the school, Karl has become quite the alcoholic, and been through a girlfriend.

The isolation, and lack of connection to his landscape seems to have gotten inside, he’s coming into a bad way.
