When the ferocious winter takes hold, Karl Ovein the company of the Hfjord locals, a warm and earthy group who have spent their lives working, drinking, and joking together in close quartersconfronts private demons, reels from humiliations, and is elated by small victories. We are immersed, along with Karl Ove, in this worldsometimes claustrophobic, sometimes serenely beautifulwhere memories and physical obsessions burn throughout the endless Arctic winter. In Book 4, Karl Ove must weigh the realities of his new life as a writer against everything he had believed it would be.'My Struggle: Book Four is an elegiac kind of comic novel, and it is pure Karl Ove Knausgaard. This is to say, it comprises intimate descriptions of daily life, descriptions that build to something improbably greater than the sum of their parts.' Dwight Garner, The New York Times
