Karl-Ove Knausgaard is an unlikely literary celebrity. The Norwegian novelist is the author of the bestselling, six-volume novelized memoir My Struggle—Min Kamp in Norwegian, a title deliberately borrowed from Adolf Hitler’s autobiography Mein Kampf. As Knausgaard readily acknowledges, they are books without much of a plot, where quotidian events are described with exacting—and sometimes exhausting—detail. In Norway, a country of 5 million people, My Struggle has sold 450,000 copies. English-language critics regularly compare him to Proust, and await the translation of each new volume with child-like anticipation. We met Karl-Ove in New York, days before the release of My Struggle: Book Four. • Watch More VICE Meets: http://bit.ly/VICE-Meets- • Click here to subscribe to VICE: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE • Check out our full video catalog: http://bit.ly/VICE-Videos • Videos, daily editorial and more: http://vice.com • More videos from the VICE network: https://www.fb.com/vicevideos • Like VICE on Facebook: http://fb.com/vice • Follow VICE on Twitter: / vice • Read our Tumblr: / vicemag • Follow us on Instagram: / vice • Check out our Pinterest: / vicemag
