Este es el sexto libro de la serie Mi Lucha, de Karl Ove Knausgaard, noruego, que dedica cientos de páginas de este tomo a analizar ese otro libro maldito, con el mismo nombre, escrito por Adolf Hitler. La biografía de Hitler, su obsesión anti semita, su uso inmoral y efectivo de la propaganda, la aquiescencia del pueblo alemán, el autoritarismo, la dictadura y la tragedia de ese país, resultan muy aleccionadores hoy, cuando recorremos esa misma senda.

‘Every morning, she wakes up to the 18th of November. She no longer expects to wake up to the 19th of November, and she no longer remembers the 17th of November as if it were yesterday.'Solvej Balle's septology On the Calculation of Volume (Faber), thirty years in the making, was published in Danish by the author's own press to huge and universal acclaim: ‘Absolutely, absolutely incredible' (Karl Ove Knausgaard); ‘Unforgettable' (Hernan Díaz); ‘A total explosion' (Nicole Krauss). Now Faber has brought the first two volumes of her masterpiece to an anglophone readership in a vibrant translation by Barbara J. Haveland, the first of which has been nominated for this year's International Booker Prize.Balle was joined in conversation by novelist and critic Chris Power.Get the books: https://www.londonreviewbookshop.co.uk/stock/on-the-calculation-of-volume-i-absolutely-absolutely-incredible.-knausgard-solvej-balleFind more events at the Bookshop: https://lrb.me/eventspod Hosted on Acast.

The Third Realm is the next instalment of the series Karl Ove Knausgaard began with The Morning Star and continued in The Wolves of Eternity; like its two precursors, it is a breathtaking exploration of ordinary lives on the cusp of irrevocable change, ‘re-enchanting the cosmos with those beguiling secrets science had stolen from it' (in the words of The Guardian).Knausgaard read from The Third Realm and was joined in conversation about its mysteries and complexities by Helen Charman, author of Mother State.Find more events at the Bookshop: https://lrb.me/eventspod Hosted on Acast.

On the basis that you've probably all heard more than enough from our regulars over recent weeks, we threw this episode open to our wider listenership and encouraged people to come forward who'd not been on previously or not been on for a while. We then used it as a chance to 'take the temperature' of the fanbase and gauge people's views on: whether the season has bettered expectations, which players have stood out (for good or ill), and how people feel about Nelson Jardim as Head Coach. A huge thank you to those who got in touch. As a result, in this episode we hear from:AntonyJohn from Tinty & The Bucket HatsIwanSimonMarcRhysHamidAnd there's a bonus bit of Ian Street magic, as he quotes from Karl Ove Knausgaard to strains of Handel - keeping it highbrow as always...

Dublin singer-songwriter Daniel Anderson aka Anderson released his second album Some Rain Must Fall on November 1. It's nine years since he released debut album Patterns (2015), after going solo following his band The Rags. Named after Karl Ove Knausgaard's book Some Rain Must Fall, Anderson says of the record: “This album was a long time in the making, perhaps these songs offer clues as to why. I'm an electrician by trade. That's what I'm professionally qualified to do and what I worked as before I dedicated my life to music. Being a musician has taken up the majority of my adult life but I'd always had a feeling of imposter syndrome with it. In the back of my head I'd be thinking ‘I'm an electrician – I'm not supposed to be making art. But the dilemma triggered something in me and new songs and ideas started coming. I stopped obsessing on the career that music hadn't given me and instead focused on how it had enriched my life. It wasn't easy but everything I went through was captured in the songs and it's all there on the record: work, worth, fear, pain, ageing, art, love, life and an understanding that into every life some rain must fall.” Buy Some Rain Must Fall: https://andersonsongs.bigcartel.com/product/some-rain-must-fall-12-vinyl

In this episode, we were joined by Karl Ove Knausgaard, author of one of the key literary phenomenons of the 2010s, My Struggle, to discuss his latest novel, The Third Realm, the latest instalment in the riveting Morning Star series.Karl Ove spoke to us about his journey toward becoming more at ease in literary interviews, his relationship with his work in translation, and how music informs one's sense of identity—contrasting, for instance, his youthful love of punk and R.E.M. with his daughter's of Ariana Grande. We also discuss “artistic preciousness” and how he has evolved from seeing writing as “sacrosanct” to being able to work at the kitchen table despite constant interruptions.Hosted by Ryan Edgington and Matt Hennessey. Produced by Lily Woods. 

The two writers choose favourite books. Recorded at the Edinburgh Book Festival

How does the past live on within our experience of the present? And how does our decision to speak about or write down our recollections of how things were change our understanding of those memories--how does it change us in the present? Asking those questions back in 2019 brought RTB into the company of memory-obsessed writers like Virginia Woolf and Marcel Proust. Discussing autofiction by Rachel Cusk, Sheila Heti and Karl Ove Knausgaard, John and Elizabeth begin to understand that the line between real-life fact, memory, and fiction is not quite as sharp as we had thought. Joining Recall This Book for this conversation is philosopher Helena De Bres, author of influential articles including “The Many, not the Few: Pluralism about Global Distributive Justice”, “Justice in Transnational Governance”, “What's Special About the State?” “Local Food: The Moral Case” and most recently "Narrative and Meaning in Life". (Her website contains links to her many fine articles for fellow philosophers and for the general public). She has recently begun to work on moral philosophy, especially the question of what makes a life meaningful, and on philosophy of art. John ranks his favorite anthropologists, while Elizabeth wonders whether autofiction necessarily takes on the affect of an academic department meeting--and what that affect has to do with Kazuo Ishiguro.

Norwegian author Karl Ove Knausgaard (b. 1968) became known in his home country - or at least its literary circles - when he put out two well-received novels in the late 1990s. But it was the publication of his six-volume autobiographical series Min Kamp, or My Struggle, that turned him into a household name - and when the books were translated into English in 2012, he became a worldwide publishing phenomenon. In this episode, Jacke talks to editor Bob Blaisdell about his own reading of Knausgaard, the experience of interviewing him, and the editing of the new book Conversations with Karl Ove Knausgaard, which collects twenty-two interviews with Knausgaard, all conducted as this curious and controversial writer was gaining worldwide attention. PLUS author Nicholas Dames (The Chapter: A Segmented History from Antiquity to the Twenty-First Century) stops by to discuss his choice for the last book he will ever read.

The GRE General Test may be the world's most widely used admissions test for graduate & professional school, which makes the assessment important to anyone considering graduate, business, or law school. Amy and Mike invited educator Vince Kotchian to share details on what to know about the GRE in 2024. What are five things you will learn in this episode? What does the GRE test and how has it changed over the years? What should students, tutors, and counselors know about the shorter GRE? What should test takers know about the computer-based format of the GRE? What kinds of programs accept the GRE? When should students prepare for and take the GRE? MEET OUR GUEST Vince Kotchian grew up in small-town Connecticut and completed the honors program at Boston College, graduating with a B.A. in English Literature. He moved to San Diego in 2007 and has been working full-time as a test-prep tutor ever since. Vince has scored a perfect 170 in verbal (twice) and a 167 in quant on the GRE. He is the founder of both Vince Kotchian Test Prep and GRE Verbal Precision. Over the years, Vince has written some test-prep books and courses, but still enjoys GRE tutoring: “When a student texts me that she aced the test or got into her reach program, I still literally jump up and down and grin.”  In his spare time, Vince likes traveling using miles and points (Japan is his favorite country to visit), reading (favorite authors include Haruki Murakami, Karl Ove Knausgaard, Nassim Nicholas Taleb, and Philip Pullman), watching The Great British Bake-Off (and sometimes actually baking things), hiking and camping, and rooting for the Red Sox and Patriots. Vince previously appeared on this podcast in episode # 197 to discuss All About The GRE and in episode # 209 in a TEST PREP PROFILE. Find Vince at Vince Kotchian Test Prep.

With RADIANT: The Life and Line of Keith Haring (Harper), Brad Gooch brings us the biography of Keith Haring, an artist who transformed public art & the art world in the 1980s and whose work has become part of global culture in the three decades since his untimely death from AIDS. We get into Brad's common threads with Haring, the parallels between this book and his biography of Rumi, how fatherhood helped Brad better understand Haring, and his surprise at discovering what a serious artist Haring was. We talk about why Haring's work makes more sense now than in the '80s, what he would have made of social media, the fire that drove him to make more than 10,000 pieces of art in his decade-plus career, the relationship of Haring to artists of color (among other race issues), where the Radiant Baby image came from, and what the younger gay population doesn't know about the AIDS crisis. We also discuss the incredible memorial of Keith and Howard Brookner at a recent Madonna concert, why 60 is a great age to start having kids, how Instagram reminds him of '80s social life, the parallels between the AIDS crisis and the early months of COVID, what Brad's learned in the course of writing four biographies, why Barbra Streisand's memoir reminds him of Karl Ove Knausgaard's My Struggle (!), and more.

The novelist Ali Smith first came across the work of Simone de Beauvoir in an Inverness bookshop, aged 18 or 19, and was instantly compelled by her “tough, troubling” prose. In this week's long read, Smith reflects on De Beauvoir's 1964 memoir A Very Easy Death, a slight, visceral book about her estranged mother's death. What happens when an existentialist, bound ethically to a thinking life, confronts the end of life and thought? Why does a writer who prides herself on uncompromising truth tell her mother she is not dying of cancer, when she is?Smith blends the personal and the political in an essay that grapples with De Beauvoir's power to disturb and provoke, sixty years on. Written by Ali Smith and read by Anna Leszkiewicz. This article originally appeared in the 28 July-17 August 2023 New Statesman summer issue.

What is transgender literature? Is it simply works by writers who identify as transgender? Or might it be thought of as a lens to read through, or a certain kind of attention? If it is the latter: in what tradition might we locate transgender literature?In this talk, American author Torrey Peters will argue for finding the roots of current transfeminine literature in older works that explore the performance of masculinity, works that in fact have been popularly accepted as containing little ambivalence about the meanings of gender. The primary focus will be on Ernest Hemingway, but with slight detours into Per Petterson, Thomas Mann, Karl Ove Knausgaard, Evelyn Waugh, and the pharmacology of steroid regimens taken by extreme bodybuilders.Torrey Peters rocketed into the international literary scene with her debut novel Detransition, Baby, a warm and intelligent exploration of gender, parenthood and trans life. The novel was among other prizes nominated for The Women's Prize for Fiction, and is celebrated for its complex trans characters and for painting a truthful picture of the New York trans scene.

People involved in the arts, literature, or other creative fields are generally politically left wing - even far left. It's much rarer to see someone who is explicitly and openly to the right, though it does happen occasionally.But there's another way to look at it. Our ideas of left and right in politics descend from the French Revolution. But what if we defined them differently than we currently do?My preferred definition of the right, properly understood, is discerning and aligning oneself and the world around him with the truth. Thus, because great art often expresses Truth, that art is implicitly right wing regardless of the politics of its creator. The best art, journalism, etc. often overflows the intentions of its creator.But many of those who have the greatest insights about today's world are not Christian at all. Sometimes this makes their work offensive to American Christian readers. But those who pay careful attention will often find incredible truth, particularly about the deformed nature of contemporary society, hiding in plain sight. Today I want to give some examples of this in the form of three contemporary European literary figures: Hanne Orstavik, Karl Ove Knausgaard, and Michel Houellebecq.

Cliff Sargent runs the very popular Youtube literary show Better than Food where he offers his candid thoughts on the books he reads. He has excellent taste, and is capable of communicating his thoughts in a refreshingly legible manner: Bataille, Clarice Lispector, Cormac McCarthy and even Adam have all been reviewed on his show (and his influence is proven by the spike in book sales Communications enjoyed following his review.)

Why do we read? In this essay, the Norwegian author explores meaning and purpose in the novel, from the work of Claire Keegan to Dostoevsky and DH Lawrence. The form's power lies in its openness, he writes, its capacity to defy the absolutes of politics, philosophy or science: “It pulls any abstract conception about life… into the human sphere, where it no longer stands alone but collides with myriad impressions, thoughts, emotions and actions.” Knausgaard considers how best to achieve this – through the emotional realism of Lawrence, or the more experiential modernism of Joyce and Woolf? For the latter two, “it was about getting near to the moment – and in the moment there is no story, only actions and thoughts”. It is also about eschewing big themes or strongly-held opinions, and instead “striving towards an actionless state of being”. Persuasively argued, and rooted in close readings – particularly of Keegan's Small Things Like These – this is an edited version of the 2022 New Statesman/Goldsmiths Prize Lecture, delivered at Queen Elizabeth Hall in London on 22 October. It was first published in the New Statesman magazine on 28 October; you can read the text version here.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for November 30, 2022 is: quiddity • KWID-uh-tee • noun Quiddity refers to the essence of a thing—that is, whatever makes something the type of thing that it is. Quiddity can also refer to a small and usually trivial complaint or criticism, or to a quirk or eccentricity in someone's behavior. // The novelist's genius was her unparalleled ability to capture the quiddity of the Maine seacoast in simple prose. // He portrayed the character's quirks and quiddities with tender playfulness. See the entry > Examples: “This is typical [of author Karl Ove] Knausgaard. He observes a subject so closely, mining so far into its essence—its quiddity—that the observations transcend banality and become compelling. In other words, he draws the space between the objects.” — Peter Murphy, The Irish Times, 20 Mar. 2018 Did you know? When it comes to synonyms of quiddity, the Q's have it. Consider quintessence, a synonym of the “essence of a thing” meaning of quiddity, and quibble, a synonym of the “trifling point” use. And let's not forget about quirk: like quiddity, quirk can refer to a person's eccentricities. Of course, quiddity also comes from a “Q” word, the Latin pronoun quis, which is one of two Latin words for “who” (the other is qui). Quid, the neuter form of quis, led to the Medieval Latin quidditas, which means “essence,” a term that was essential to the development of the English word quiddity.

In her first-ever podcast interview, Vanessa Baird, one of Norway's most pre-eminent artists, speaks to Danielle Radojcin about her life's work. Taking inspiration from her daily routine at home with her family in Oslo, her drawings are at once darkly comic and profoundly relatable. Vanessa trained at the the Royal Academy in London under Quentin Blake, and is a winner of Norway's most important art prize, the Lorck Schive Kunstpris. She also designed the Nobel Peace prize diploma. She speaks openly about her inspirations, overcoming challenges, and finding kinship through her work with Karl Ove Knausgaard.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Scraping training data for your mind, published by Henrik Karlsson on September 21, 2022 on LessWrong. 2432 pages into Karl Ove Knausgaard's autobiographical My Struggle comes a pivotal plot point: the publication of a new Proust translation in Norwegian. Knausgaard at this point, in his mid-twenties, has spent nearly ten years learning to write. Without success, to put it mildly. His best friend, Tore Renberg, having read the results, in one scene comes over to Knausgaard's flat, looking a little as if he has been drinking before he arrived to work up his nerve. “But Karl Ove”, Renberg says about his writing, “there is. nothing there”. This isn't the first time we've seen how people react to Knausgaard's prose. Earlier in the book, when he is working as a teacher in a remote fishing village in northern Norway, Knausgaard comes home to find his colleagues laughing while reading a sex scene he's written. Knausgaard—still a virgin—walks straight through the kitchen into his study, where he downs a full bottle of wine in one go and proceeds to throw up all over the bookcase. But Renberg's criticism cuts deeper. Renberg, who is younger than Knausgaard, has already become an accomplished writer and knows what he's talking about. There really is nothing there. So Knausgaard stops writing. When the new translation of Prouts's In Search of Lost Time is published he has not written for two years. In the spring light, he reads Proust's memoirs, all seven of them, in one big gulp like “drinking a glass of water”. He has said it was like “visiting a wood you have been in before, a long time ago . . . and when you start walking, the memories start coming back”. After that epiphany . . . he spends another two years not writing. That is about 200 pages of his autobiography. Then, for inexplicable reasons, an editor at Tiden, a subsidiary of Norway's biggest publishing house, an editor who, like everyone else, is unconvinced by Knausgaard's writing, decides that, well, why not give him a book deal anyway. Knausgaard abandons everything, moves back to his mother's town, Arendal, and sets out to write a debut novel. He doesn't know what to write about. He overhears a conversation in the library, writes it down, and then wings it from there. The novel turns into a story about a 26-year-old teacher, Henrik Vankel. Like many debuts, it is hard to not read as autobiographical—which becomes all the tenser as the plot centers on the sexual relationship Vankel has with his 13-year-old pupil Miriam in a small fishing village identical to the one where Knausgaard taught in northern Norway. The book was an immediate critical and financial success. One reason for the success was that the writing is pure Proust. Coursing through every sentence of Ude af verden, like a virus, is the Proustian sensibility, the obsession with time and memory, the rich and clear language. Knausgaard claims he wasn't aware of the influence at the time—but something about The Search for Lost Time had worked itself into him, rearranging his sensibilities. Over the two years when he did not write, his writing had transformed. This is quite common for writers. Reading something powerful, the voice infects them. Sometimes this is a weakness, if the influence has not been transformed into something personal. But there is also no way around it: finding good influences is a prerequisite for writing well. Some writers do this very deliberately. Werner Herzog will spend days reading the Poetic Edda and listening to classical music at full volume to get himself into what he calls an “ecstasy of language” before writing a script. John Frusciante, as we discussed in the last part of this series, does something similar when writing songs. Let's call this scraping good training data for your mind. It is an important skill. Too often...

On today's episode we have writer Jo Ann Beard. She is the author of the essay collection The Boys of My Youth, the novel In Zanesville, and her latest collection Festival Days was published in 2021 by Little Brown and Company. She has won several awards including the Guggenheim Fellowship in 2005. Her essay “The Fourth State of Matter” on the University of Iowa shooting, was published in The New Yorker in 1996 and is taught in creative writing programs around the country. Beard's writing occupies a liminal space, as she melds together personal essay and fiction. While reading her work, after a certain point, you stop trying to figure out whether she's telling a true story or not, and simply surrender to the meditative prose. Beard takes you through the inner lives of several interesting characters—many of whom are herself—and her writing tugs at the rawest of human emotion, as she chronicles the ordinary and extraordinary, talking about death, taking care of animals, the art of writing itself, and country life, amongst many other subjects. We sat down earlier this month to talk through her creative processes, her unique approach to subjects often impossible to write about, and the abilities of writers to illuminate certain aspects of the human experience, unavailable to the outside world. This conversation changed the way I approached both fiction and essay writing, and even inspired me to put some words down on the page. Before we begin, Some background info for you: We discuss two of her essays in considerable detail. The first one called “Werner” is about a man named Werner Hoeflich who was caught in a burning building, and was able to jump and save his own life at the last minute. The other story titled “Cheri” is about a woman who was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and decided to take her own life with assisted suicide. We also briefly speak about the writer Karl Ove Knausgaard, who is known for her set of six autobiographical novels, titled My Struggle. All the writers mentioned are in the show notes.

We're back! And joined by Felix Biederman, a promising young podcaster recently arrived in Los Angeles whom we condescended to let on the show. Although by no means a "bookhead" -- to appropriate his charming coinage -- Felix is a longtime fan of Karl Ove Knausgaard. The Norwegian author became a source of strength for Felix when he first encountered the Struggle books in 2017 amidst an increasingly cloying digital media landscape. With startling lucidity, Felix articulates how Knasugaard, with his undifferentiated and unselfserving stream of thoughts, served as a welcome anecdote to the insanely hypertargeted and overdetermined first person essay boom of the time (should she have pitched a piece about what it's like to be a quarter Portuguese woman in America? Lauren wonders). Then we get into the text: specifically pages 88-94 of book 2, which cover about five minutes of Knausgaard stalking around Stockholm with the stroller and having thoughts. We try to understand Knausgaard's aversion to being recognized as a "regular" as a coffee shop (and utter mortification at being presented with a free croissant) and Felix recounts his stint in cafe society (the LES Dunkin Donuts) as a young man. Also: we discover Knausgaard to have invented main character/NPC discourse, and consider the 2005 fashion trend of knee high black boots for women, which Knausgaard wishes "would last forever" (cruel hindsight: it didn't).

After reading “So Much Longing in So Little Space' by Karl Ove Knausgaard, in this episode we ask the same question he did in the book: what makes a work of art good, really? My position in this episode is that the 'good' or even great art object cannot be one which you experience but then go back to life as you've known it, as it's settled around you. Arguing from a more radical position, I suppose, I claim the great work of art upsets everything, shakes all that the viewer thinks they know to their very core—and, likely, hopefully, makes it impossible for the one who experiences such a great work of art to then return to life as normal. The contention I dwell on in this episode is whether the art community today really wants such art objects which shake the foundations of the known world; instead, perhaps they prefer works of art which merely accent their days spent living a late-capitalist ideal of the good, secure, stable, comfortable life.   Follow E.

In the final episode of Season 1, Spring is on the doorstep as Dad talks creative process and the future of Dad Weather.   Dad discusses the origins of Dad Weather and the seeds planted by Norwegian author Karl Ove Knausgaard.   There are new things on the horizon for Season 2.

Karl Ove Knausgaard's series of autobiographical novels published in English as My Struggle propelled him to international fame, near universal acclaim and not a little controversy. His latest book The Morning Star (Penguin Press) is both a radical departure from that series, and a return to fiction as we traditionally know it. A group of holidaymakers in southern Norway witness the sudden and mysterious appearance of a new star, with consequences far beyond what they, or anybody else, could have predicted. Knausgaard is in conversation with journalist Jake Kerridge. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Mark Epstein, M.D. is a psychiatrist in private practice in New York City and the author of a number of books about the interface of Buddhism and psychotherapy. Mark discusses the ways in which trauma weaves its way through the story and life of the Buddha, the difference between discipline and control and how narratives and feelings intersect and why both are useful. We also chat about the importance of integrating pain and grief into our lives and the fallacy of thinking that things ever "return to normal".    Find out more about Mark at markepsteinmd.com and on Facebook.   Mark's Book Recommendations: The Argonauts by Maggie Nelson, Wave by Sonali Deraniyagala and the 6 volumes of My Struggle by Karl Ove Knausgaard.   Songs featured: "Eyes Closed and Traveling" by Peter Broderick and "Tiny Apocalypse" by David Byrne   How to support the show:   Rate, review and subscribe to the podcast on iTunes!   Support my work on Patreon and get access to perks like an exclusive WhatsApp group chat just for patrons!   Visit my website - AnyaKaats.com & Find me on Instagram Get full access to A Millennial's Guide to Saving the World at anyakaats.substack.com/subscribe
