Karl Ove Knausgård: Story without Climax
The Min Kamp books caused massive controversy when they were released, partly because the Norwegian title of the book, Min Kamp, is the same as Hitler‘s Mein Kampf, and partly because some have suggested Knausgård goes too far in exposing the private lives of his friends and family, including his ex-wife. The books have nevertheless received almost universally favourable reviews, especially the first two volumes, and were, even before the final book’s publication, one of the greatest publishing phenomena in Norway ever. In a country of fewer than five million people, the Min Kamp series has sold over 450,000 copies.[4]
