About the Book
"Originally published in Norwegian in 2009 by Forlaget Oktober, Norway, as Min kamp 3"--Title page verso.Book Synopsis
The third volume --the book that made Karl Ove Knausgaard a phenomenon in the United States--in the addictive New York Times bestselling series, My Struggle.
A family of four--mother, father, and two boys--move to the south coast of Norway, to a new house on a newly developed site. It is the early 1970s and the family's trajectory is upwardly mobile: the future seems limitless. In painstaking, sometimes self-lacerating detail, Karl Ove Knausgaard paints a world familiar to anyone who can recall the intensity and novelty of childhood experience, one in which children and adults lead parallel lives that never meet.
