A Man In Love: My Struggle Book 2 - Softcover

"A stunningly eloquent set of reflections on masculinity, domesticity and the artist's itch to escape" (Boyd Tonkin Independent)

"Punishingly honest record of the triumphs and banalities of his own life" (Tim Martin Telegraph)

"My favourite book of the year... He has the ability to make the small details of his life fascinating" (William Leith Spectator)

"A brutally honest self-examination in what feels like real time" (Justine Jordan Guardian Online)

"Karl Ove Knausgaard’s six-volume autobiographical novel My Struggle is one of the most absorbing literary projects of recent times, one that has seen the Norwegian writer dubbed the Scandinavian Proust" (Stephen Romei Spectator)

Karl Ove Knausgaard leaves his wife and everything he knows in Oslo for a fresh start in Stockholm. There he strikes up a deep and competitive friendship with Geir and pursues Linda, a beautiful poet who captivated him years ago.

A Man in Love, the second book of six in the My Struggle cycle, sees Knausgaard write of tempestuous relationships, the trials of parenthood and an urge to create great art. His singular insight and exhilirating honesty must be read to be believed.

Another international sensation from the publishers of Summertime, 1Q84 and HHhH.
