These international bestsellers have made him, again like Munch, the embodiment of tortured introspection. The author’s series of autobiographical novels, collectively titled My Struggle, deal in forensic detail with alcoholism, marital turmoil, mental health and ageing. Like Munch, Knausgaard is a Norwegian phenomenon: a creative and confessional spirit whose work has achieved international acclaim. Knausgaard’s features - wolfish eyes and a steel-grey beard - match the setting perfectly, although he also has a shy, fleeting smile and is impeccably polite. ![]() We’re sitting in the museum’s garden, drinking coffee under a graphite sky on a cold spring day the trees in the neighbouring botanical gardens are still skeletal. For while Edvard Munch withdrew from the world, Knausgaard gives freely of himself. ‘That would be impossible, he protected himself so much.’ As Knausgaard discusses Towards the Forest, the summer exhibition that he has curated for the Munch Museum in Oslo, the pleasures and perils of being unguarded are a recurring theme. ‘I could never have been in the same room as Munch,’ Karl Ove Knausgaard tells me as he lights a cigarette. ![]() ![]() At eighteen, George Jackson was convicted of stealing seventy dollars from a gas station and was sentenced from one year to life.

But I found the absurdity trying, the characters flat, and the description on the back of the book incredibly misleading. A book whose plot spans hundreds of years complete with manifestations of Pan, some nymphs, a cast of other less godly but no less colourful characters, and an absurd outlook really should have appealed to me. ![]() This really shouldn’t have been the case. Having since got my hands on a copy, I’m now wondering if a ten year build of anticipation was always going to end it disappointment as I found this to be completely underwhelming.
