When Karl Ove becomes a father himself, he must balance the demands of caring for a young family with his determination to write great literature. In&nbsp;<i>A Death in the Family</i>&nbsp;Knausgaard has created a universal story of the struggles, great and small, that we all face in our lives. A profoundly serious, gripping and hugely readable work written as if the author^s very life were at stake</p><p class="p2" style="margin-bottom: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 14px;"><br></p><p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: 2px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 17px;"><b></b><br></p><p class="p3" style="margin-bottom: 2px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal; font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;; color: rgb(69, 69, 69); min-height: 17px;"><b>About the Author</b><b></b></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><b><br></b></p><p class="p1" style="margin-bottom: 0px; font-variant-numeric: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-stretch: normal; font-size: 12px; line-height: normal; font-family: &quot;Helvetica Neue&quot;; color: rgb(69, 69, 69);"><b>Karl Ove Knausgaard</b>’s My Struggle cycle has been heralded as a masterpiece all over the world.
