Knausgård is famed for his ability to describe the mundane and have it registered as extraordinary. This remains true despite the antipathy I am currently approaching this book. His writing is unadorned, plain, and easy to digest.

I don't want to keep reading this book but its passages have already laid their tracks in my mind. How annoying to be so gripped.

Just finished the chapter titled Vibeke and I very much enjoyed the descriptions of Ase.

Bit of a turn towards philosophy with perhaps Knausgård’s own voice.

And the second day begins.

Ordinary lives filled with the strange and sudden interjections of hallucinations, drugs, and insensate thoughts. We're at a weird place now.

Straight through to the 2nd POV of the priest. I find her story so far to be the most compelling; she is also the most flawed, so far though every POV is flawed.
