"Twenty-two interviews, each conducted during the ten-year span in which Knausgaard's literary prowess gained worldwide recognition. Knausgaard is both a daring writer and a daring interviewee. He grounds his observations in the ordinary aspects of the world around him which, he insists, is the same world in front of most of his readers. He regards his appearances in newspapers, magazines, and literary festivals as a performance, where he plays himself. While that role may differ from his inner life, it is consistent with the role he plays in his autobiographical novels. Knausgaard discusses his work, aspects of his personal life, and his writing routines and practices in marvelous detail. Remarkable for his candor and directness, Knausgaard delivers the same variety and number of surprises in these interviews as he does in his most thrilling books" (Publisher's blurb).
