RaveThe Daily Star (Bangladesh)The most interesting aspect of this volume involves Knausgaard \'s journey as a writer ... Knaugaard opens himself up to us fully and we get to know the person he is, his habits, lust, and passions. As is his practice, he describes in very poetic terms his weaknesses, particularly his initial inability to get an ejaculation. However, the book ends with an encounter where finally he achieves success in that area! ... This book can be enjoyed for its style, the author\'s knack for describing nature\'s beauty, winter storms, and the coping mechanism of a teenager faced with loneliness, the early challenges Knausgaard faced as a writer, failures in his personal relationships, and the taunts he endured from fellow workers.
