Karl Ove Knausgaard’s “My Struggle” Series Book Signing | SF

Submitted by the Event Organizer

The critically acclaimed author of the My Struggle series makes a rare lunch-time visit to City Lights to sign books.

Celebrating the release of the fourth installment in the eagerly awaited, internationally celebrated My Struggle series. Book Four finds an eighteen-year-old Karl Ove in a tiny fishing village in Northern Norway, where he has been hired as a schoolteacher and is living on his own for the first time. When the ferocious winter takes hold, Karl Ove—in the company of the Håfjord locals, a warm and earthy group who have spent their lives working, drinking, joking together in close quarters—confronts private demons, reels from humiliations, and is elated by small victories. We are immersed, along with Karl Ove, in this world—sometimes claustrophobic, sometimes serenely beautiful—where memories and physical obsessions burn throughout the endless Arctic winter. In Book Four, Karl Ove must weigh the realities of his new life as a writer against everything he had believed it would be.

Please note: Mr. Knausgaard will only be signing books purchased at City Lights. If you have pre-purchased books please bring your receipt. Please do not bring bags of memorabilia. Your cooperation is appreciated.
