Boyhood Island My Struggle Book 3

Omschrijving

Childhood is exhilarating and terrifying. For the young Karl Ove, new houses, classes and friends are met with manic excitement and creeping dread. Adults occupy god-like positions of power, benevolent in the case of his doting mother, tyranical in the case of his cruel father. In his uniquely compelling and direct style, Knausgaard describes a time in which victories and defeats are felt keenly and every attempt at self-definition is frustrated. This is a book about family, memory and how we never become quite what we set out to be.
