{"product_id":"my-struggle-book-4-my-struggle-4","title":"My Struggle: Book 4 (My Struggle, 4)","description":"The fourth installment in the beloved, internationally celebrated My Struggle series from Karl Ove Knausgaard.\n\nMy Struggle: Book 4 finds an eighteen-year-old Karl Ove Knausgaard in a tiny fishing village in northern Norway, where he has been hired as a schoolteacher and is living on his own for the first time. When the ferocious winter takes hold, Karl Ove--in the company of the Håfjord locals, a warm and earthy group who have spent their lives working, drinking, and joking together in close quarters--confronts private demons, reels from humiliations, and is elated by small victories. We are immersed, along with Karl Ove, in this world--sometimes claustrophobic, sometimes serenely beautiful--where 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.\n\n\"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\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0374534179\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0374534179.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Knausgaard, Karl Ove\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
