Fourth book of Knausgard autobiographies. This one has plenty of references and callbacks to the earlier books. Main themes of this book is his starting a new life in a isolated fishing village as a teacher while writing part time at the age of 18 along with the coming of age problems, alcohol and budding sexuality. Again his frankness and shamelessness in putting himself on full display is no longer as astonishing at this point but does leave me shaking my head in some instances. The book seems to be alot more readable and the prose more enjoyable or this could just mean i am adapting to Knuasgard's style of writing. The ending of the book left me chuckling as he finally loses his virginity with a fat chick.
