Yes, so far I'm very impressed. She has a patience, power, and sense of observation I see in writers like William Maxwell, David Malouf, or even Jeanette Winterson and Julian Barnes. Maybe even Jane Gardam. I tried Philip Roth recently and it was so showy and hollow. The opposite.Alice Munro. An excellent writer.
I’m reading Morning Star: A Novel by Karl Ove Knausgard.
He has an incredible ability to eek out the essence of each moment from a wide variety of personalities.
I am bogged down by one chapter in which the narrator is so creepy it makes my skin crawl.
One of my favourite authors. I tend to quote him a bit.my dad gave me some Terry Pratchett books
A radio program reviewed My Struggle which is how I heard of him. So when a book of his popped up on Amazon specials list, I bought Morning Star for kindle for 1.99.He has a real talent for getting all the details in there.Did you read "My Struggle"? That was looong.

I read a lot and can’t afford to purchase books at the regular price and don’t have easy access to a library.
The translation seems to be excellent. The English grammar is better than most native English writers.
I could see going into a big depression over having my personal habits described in the excruciating detail his writing achieves. Poor lady.When that guy writes about something mundane like making breakfast one morning, it turns into a series of at least 3 books.The thing about "My Struggle" is that he wrote about his personal life, wife, friends, people he had met and it was often a bit personal, so he upset some people. He wrote about such personal things and shared so many details from his life. And he was so absorbed with the writing that his wife went through a depression and was hospitalized for a while, it turned into at big thing.
I am quite enjoying it.=)One of my favourite authors. I tend to quote him a bit.
