- Karl Ove Knausgaard has crafted one of the most distinctive literary styles of our time. With uncompromising attention to detail and the workings of memory, Knausgaard’s six-volume autobiographical novel, My Struggle, is a major artistic achievement. Come celebrate the long-awaited release of Book Five in the English translation at this, Knausgaard’s first-ever visit to Chicago.

His admission that this isn't good literature is humbling. His ability to analyze and distance himself objectively is impressive. My experience reading his books has been extraordinary - in my mind he has succeeded despite what he says. Can't wait for volume five.
Being humble/modest isn't the same as being objective.
Knausgaard has some of the most beautiful hand gestures.
Just like Trump!
One of the best Knausgaard conversations I've come across. Thank you, Sheila Heti.
Thank you for asking him about therapy. I'm in the middle of Book 2 of My Struggle, and I've been wondering about this for some time! I don't agree with his viewpoint at all, but really appreciated his honest answer about his cultural viewpoint. It's also because he's a man. He is so real and honest. He really does struggle with what society presents him with and gets this across very clearly in his writing.
One of the greatest writers of our time.
Most interesting interview questions with Karl Ove in my opinion, thanks for sharing.
Wow! Norway's grants for writers are such a wonderful way to keep the literary tradition alive.
one of the better interviews of Knausgaard I've seen. Great stuff
I love this interviewer :) And Karl Ove..great as usual
you should read her! shes good
Heti is a joy here!
English is my first language and he is twice as articulate as I am
I'm so taken with this woman.
Did anyone get the titles of the books he has been reading lately? What an interview.
"The flame alphabet" by Ben Marcus, "The Argonauts" by Maggie Nelson, "Sketches from a hunter's album" by Turgenev.
Such a fascinating conversation. Still, I can't help but be distracted by a wheezing sound. Is that someone's nose?
Toergenjev!! KO makes me mute and filled with love.
"...and I don't want to go there, but it could be, that the english translation is better." xd
Hamsun did this 130 years ago.
jaye see are you talking about wanderers? Karls work is very different than that series
yeah then he became a nazi sympathizer so...
Depressing, yet uplifting at the same time. Proust? I'm not certain, but I see why his books succeed.
Anybody knows who the interviewer is?
P. K. Check out her novel, "How Should a Person Be?"
Is there a female version of Knaussgaard? Or Proust, for that matter...? There should be.
Elena Ferrante. Italian virtuoso.
sheila heti lol
@@deathkilltron Lol not even close
Why does Heti always seem like a disorganized school therapist
writer as smuggler - ...
I like Sheila... but it's evident she's in awe and more than a little out of her depth here.
I don't think she actually minds. She's leaning back in her chair and simpering in a way that fairly shrieks, 'Take me! I'm yours!' ;-)
Sounds like you’re projecting, she did a fantastic job interviewing and was more prepared and smart than any other interviewer I’ve seen with him (with the exception of Zadie Smith).
@@rjmoney9 Both observations could be true, of course, since conscientious preparation and interview competence are perfectly compatible with awe, adulation, and even sexual attraction. As to which, if either, of us is projecting, that's a moot point. Your 'sounds like' may qualify as projection.
@@vanishinglyyy I've read Sheila's books and once had the pleasure of corresponding with her by email on a topic of mutual interest: she's delightful. I wouldn't claim to understand her or any other person, male or female. As Huxley pointed out, people are hermetically sealed 'island universes'--when a person dies, a universe dies: most of us find it full-time work trying to understand ourselves. It should go without saying that only Sheila herself could confirm which of our perceptions is closer to the mark; she's the final authority on the matter. Karl Ove did seem to respond to her, though, which suggests a receptivity on his part to signals you missed.
While there's no point arguing over something neither of us is in a position to settle, the claims made in your last sentence are silly and certainly funded by no evidence:
a) The sexes are equally prone to being smitten, and it's a perfectly respectable state to be in. So much for sexism and disrespect.
b) If you're going to claim someone has implied something, the onus is on you to identify both the premises of the implication and the conclusion that supposedly follows from it. Masquerading substitute premises and conclusions of your own as your interlocutor's is an orthodox evasive move by bad faith actors, but I've never understood why since it's also transparent. It doesn't persuade anyone.
c) As my wife and I have been interacting daily for over forty years and raised two daughters, I can claim some familiarity with the behaviour of at least some women. I also have a sister, female relatives, female colleagues, female friends, and, you know, a mother.
