Karl Ove Knausgaard Talks About Music, Books and Writing

[@paulmcgeachie9653]

I love this man as an author. I feel as a result of reading My Struggle (the five volumes currently translated into English) that i know him as well as anyone i have ever met. I hunger for the next volume

[@kseniyasbooknook4172]

Yes, I feel that way after reading even the first book. I've gotten the first five tomes to read

[@Bob-kt6bi]

don't say you hunger for his next book. that sounds gay.

[@isayyestothat]

I think i'm obsessed with him.

[@gonzido2]

i could drown in those eyes

[@danutawilk3506]

Just love Min Kampin books. U are great writer and honest guy.

[@nancycaldwell5948]

Why was this interview ushered in and out on Alpine style yodeling?

[@innofarah]

It's strange how I started reading "The Struggle" at the same time I was focusing on iron and wine albums. This is awesome.

[@robinsonner5461]

He mentions iron and wine in my struggle I think

[@namuuntengis1791]

Hi, Knausgaard, thank you very much. Im lucky watched it. I have a great interest to your writing style the book "My struggle".

[@michaelwei7577]

So amazed at the fact that he mentioned David Foster Wallace who happens to be my favourite author of all times.

[@lifewillseeyounow6550]

Michael Weiß why is that amazing ?

[@DarkAngelEU]

Doesn't everyone know David Foster Wallace?

[@1998Cebola]

@@DarkAngelEU which is also exactly the point of KOK mentioning DFW

[@williamgass9242]

​@DarkAngelEU not everyone mentions him as an inspiration

[@williamgass9242]

​@@lifewillseeyounow6550Most people shit on David Wallace because of jealousy. It's amazing to see a nice guy.

[@marcelhidalgo1076]

Would have been nice if they put the names of the Norwegian writers he is saying. I can't figure out a spelling based on his pronunciations.

[@olaeidet5295]

Thure Erik Lund and Kristine Næss

[@Venuscombust]

Who are the bands he mentions? I got Midlake, but what was the one before that? Sounded like "Ireland Whine"

[@EvigMunk]

+Meraj Dhir - Iron and Wine - Midlake - Beck - Bob Dylan

[@Venuscombust]

Thanks

[@SMansourr]

can you please type the writers' names as i couldn't get them all. :)

[@PersFin]

Donald Atrium, Ben Marcus, Thure Erik Lund, not sure of the female Norweigian author?

[@SMansourr]

thanks!

[@RayasNegroOvejas]

DiceChild8000 Kristine Næss

[@BobCraigmile]

Shady Mansour I think it's Antrim not Atrium.

[@apexxxx10]

+Bob Craigmile "He is an architect. Surname must be Atrium", says Johnnie - Bangkok-Johnnie '

[@salkinfamilychiropractic3142]

did he say "Erik Luna" or is it someone else (for other current writer he's like from Scandinavia)?

[@tommysaborido1990]

You and me both wondered! I found it though: Thure Erik Lund

[@faintscrawl]

He looks like a guy who can't believe (and really appreciates) his good fortune.

[@DarkAngelEU]

I'd feel rather uncomfortable being interviewed, as a European writer, in one of the biggest and most important cultural cities of the world. Also after having another coffee and sitting on such a small stool would drive me even more nervous lol

[@macclift9956]

Not one free book on KZbin; it acts as a starter and gets people to look for more, but NO, KZbin has cut down and fewer books/audibooks are being sought out/bought.

[@pedromeierartiststudio]

😄😄😄

[@r.s.9861]

He is hyperactive :)

[@morrisal]

He's nervous af

[@karlknausgard9248]

[@morrisal]

And why are you sorry about that? 🤔🙂

[@bjwnashe5589]

Sunglasses and cigarettes.

[@jimdfoster]

***** Iron and Wine

[@Alexander-tj2dn]

It's a pitty he smokes so much, it's a suicide and a door to phisical suffering...
