Thank you for posting this and conducting such a thoughtful interview. I appreciate how you let the interview breath and flow as naturally as possible.
I think this type of intimate setting is where Karl Ove is best interviewed. His own space amongst his own possessions with his beloved smokes and cups of coffee. Kudos to the interviewer to allow him the time and space to give thoughtful answers to the questions. It's funny that (assuming you have read the entire 'My struggle' series) I am still interested in Karl Ove's life and ideas. You'd think we'd all be sick of him by now!
Thank you so much for this interview, hope to keep on reading about him for a long time. Is it just me or are we all in love with this man..? He's amazing ♥
Thank you, Signore, for sharing this intimate interview. I think the setting and patient interviewing style yielded a more specific and interesting discussion. The production values are not slick, but this feels more personal and may work in the author's favor as persona seems a bit eroded. Here in this venue, everything flows because perhaps he can command his space. Coffee and cigarettes, good props, helping him out there, too. I always want to know more about his mother. Thanks for sharing this interview. I have really been enjoying his books and his recent tour in America.
1:17 when I read that part in one of his books I did laugh and thought about it, because before reading that part, it came to me how stupid it was to try so hard to get an eye contact with an attractive woman, I hated it every time I did it, so then, anytime I looked at a beautiful woman passing by, the moment I realized what I was doing, I stopped, it went so far that I simply started just ignoring women (becaue I am a heterosexual man, men did not have that effect on me), so when I went for a walk with some of my friends and they started saying "My god, did you saw that one?", it kind of angered me, because I've gotten used to just looking away, I was aware that a beautfiul woman was about to pass me by, I just stopped starring, in the hopes for an eye contact which was literally useless. So when I read that I just really had to laugh.
All writers are the same, ultimately. You read enough of their books, watch enough of their interviews, you realize these folks share a certain compulsion to express themselves as best as they can. Verbal expression is just not enough. It never is enough.
To give a feminine perspective on the topic of fantasizing about the other sex. Sometimes one sees somebody and feels attracted physically, projects into that person (a man) the qualities one would like him to have. If the attraction was mutual and the man addressed me, I would feel compelled to turn away. Yet, I often asked myself how would it be, if both openly admitted attraction and explored on. This in my mind, at least not consciously, is not fantasizing about having sex with that person; attraction alone and its pull is mesmerizing. Actual encounter may be a disappointment. Is that a terribly old-fashioned sentiment?

Thank you for sharing about this writer. It is not easy for him to open about his own life openly. But he did.

hai delle belle interviste sul tuo canale. Grazie mille.
What he says about being faithful to the process, without your head being the judge of it, is very true.
Love him
great interviewer!

Observação poderosa.

Karl's chain smoking exhausts me but I feel compelled to keep listening to his words.
I don't like Skype either, or phones, or meeting people, wow we have so much in common, and my parents fucked me up, they didn't mean to.........
No body is perfect.
I don't know where you are coming from. I don't know you. the rest is semantics.
He sounds like Magnus Carlsen. Why do Fjeldaber sound alike lol??
'Fernweh' is maybe a title like 'Argentina', the title of my manuscript, my debut.
❤👍❤
writing: a cold hand on a warm forehead.
Knut Hamsun's yer only man!
that's what Henry Miller would say
Hamsun was the best writer of all time.
So sour or sad it makes me laugh (can't be that bad Karl Ove).
KOK is the leading spiritual writer of our time. Most of the media overlooks this aspect of his work.
