Karl Ove Knausgård has been lauded as an international literary sensation for his six-volume epic work entitled, My Struggle. Most frequently compared to Proust, My Struggle is a memoir of hyper-realism that tackles family drama with an unflinching frankness and hypnotic attention to detail. Already translated into more than fifteen languages, the first volume translated in English was a New York Times bestseller and a New Yorker Book of the Year; Book Two was listed among the Wall Street Journal's 2013 Books of the Year. One volume is released per year with Book Four appearing in April 2015. BABEL readers will begin with Book One. Knausgård was born in Norway in 1968 and currently lives in Sweden with his wife and four children.
