John Freeman Interviews Knausgaard for LitHub

John Freeman has just interviewed Karl Ove Knausgaard for LitHub. He writes:

Begun when he was 39, feeling intimations of mortality and a crushing desire to “write something exceptional one day,”  My Struggle is a colossus, a Proustian megabook of memory and family life; a poetic recall of the textures and terrors of childhood and boyhood; an unsparing glimpse into the mind of a man on the other side of that magical period in life, raising his own children; an exorcism of a terrifying and controlling father.
