“The strange thing about writing is that it's so easy to write a novel. It is really easy. But it's getting there to the point where it's easy that's hard. The hard part is to get there.” WritingHardEasyNovelStrangeStrange Things Author:Karl Ove Knausgard
“A problem with my novels is that they, from the start, have been infantile and incredibly childish. There are childishness, stupidity, lack of wisdom, fantasies. At the same time, that's where my creativity can be found. If I tried to control it and make it more mature, it wouldn't be good at all. It'd be uninteresting, without any vivacity.” IfsHas BeensProblemFoundCreativityFantasyNovelStupidityBe GoodMatureInfantileChildishnessVivacity Author:Karl Ove Knausgard
“In modern novels I try to not let myself get away and to be here, and that's why I write about my life and myself. But even when I do that there's an element of disappearing to a place that's not me. It's "the selflessness of writing". It seldom happens, but when it does it's worth quite a lot.” WritingTryingDoeHappensNovelModernElementsDisappearGet AwaySelflessnessModern Novel Author:Karl Ove Knausgard
