My struggle. Book One. Parting. KNAUSGOR K. U.

Farewell - the first book of the six -volume autobiographical cycle "My struggle" of the modern Norwegian classic Charles Uve Knausgor. In it, the author writes with marginal frankness about his childhood and adolescence, about the passion for rock music, about relations with a loving but almost invisible mother and a distant, always unpredictable father, about bitterness of loss and confusion after his death. When Karl Uve himself becomes a father, he has to look for a balance between the need to take care of the family and the desire to devote himself to writing work... Thanks to the uncompromising sincerity, with which Knausgor writes, the banality of everyday life acquires a metaphysical depth.
