A review by grayjay
My Struggle, Book Four by Karl Ove Knausgård

5.0

He develops a sense of his adolescent expectations of life as an adult. He will have a job that doesn't suck his soul he'll be able to live free, travel, do what he wants. His priorities are music and writing, but he spends about half the book drunk or getting drunk. His drinking affects his relationship and dominates his life, but he lives a semi-intentional life of indulgence. He indulges in music purchases even when he doesn't have the money, he indulges in drinking and uninhibited behaviour when he is drunk, and he indulges in isolating himself to write. In sense, this volume is a study in selfishness, but written in a studious self-examination that endears the reader.
