“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
“A psychologically engrossing novel about the homes we make-in our houses, in our neighborhoods, and in the hearts of our loved ones.

DREAM HOUSE is a memorable debut novel from a fully mature talent.” HeartDoeFeelingsHomeDreamHouseClassNovelSubjectsTalentMemorableNeighborhoodMatureLoved OnesUnspokenDebutSurpassingFranknessDream House Author:Peter Ho Davies
