The Essential Karl Ove Knausgaard

This fall, I had the pleasure of re-reading Karl Ove Knausgaard’s work for the New York Times. I’m grateful for the assignment, the brilliant editing, and Knausgaard, for giving me so much to think about, as always: www.nytimes.com/article/karl...

The Process of No Process: PW Talks with Dag Solstad Solstad’s two newly translated novels are 'Armand V' (New Directions, May), composed of footnotes to a nonexistent novel, and 'T Singer' (New Directions, May), which follows its protagonist through a ...

Sad to read about Dag Solstad's passing. Armand V is one of my favorite novels, and T. Singer is fantastic, as is Professor Anderson's Night and Shyness & Dignity. I was lucky enough to interview him a few years ago and he was characteristically brilliant: www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

This, from the interview between Krasznahorkai and Kunzru, really struck me.

This story is astounding - ambitious, long, and strange - and @harikunzru.bsky.social's interview contextualizes it wonderfully.
