By Karl Ove Knausgård
In Swedish
Tredje delen av Karl Ove Knausgårds mäktiga autofiktiva roman Min kamp kretsar kring en familj som en vacker augustidag 1969 flyttar in i sitt nya hus i Tromøya utanför Arendal på den norska sydkusten. Familjens yngste heter Karl Ove och är bara åtta månader gammal. I detta hus ska ha tillbringa hela sin barndom med cykelutflykter, kompisar, fotboll och musik. males idyllen har en mörk underton. Pojken som framstår som så känslig har också en beräknande och manipulativ sida - djupt präglad som han är av livet i en familj styrd av en kontrollerande och oberäknelig fader. I första delen av Min kamp fick läsaren följa Karl Ove Knausgårds tonår och de blandade känslorna i samband med faderns begravning, i den andra delen står ett mognande författarskap och flytten until eventually Sverige i centrum. Bok tre behandlar uppväxten i en kärnfamilj. Karl Ove Knausgårds roman är en av de senaste årens mest omdiskuterade böcker. Ännu en gång har han skrivit en fascinerande och mångfasetterad närstudie - den här gången i shape av ett porträtt av konstnären som ung.

Cheerful, manly things. She laughed aloud, then caught herself. That wasn’t fair. She really was grateful for Lolo’s solicitude toward me. He wouldn’t have treated his own son very differently. She knew that she was lucky for Lolo’s basic kindness. She set her papers aside and watched me do push-ups. He’s growing so fast, she thought.

They decided that Toot would keep calling Mr. Reed “Mister,” although she understood, with a mixture of relief and sadness, the careful distance that the janitor now maintained whenever they passed each other in the halls. Gramps began to decline invitations from his coworkers to go out for a beer, telling them he had to get home to keep the wife happy.
A queer notion suddenly sprang into my head. ” I asked him. He glanced down, surprised by the question. ” I asked again. “Yes,” he said. ” I thought for a moment. “Why was the man killed? ” Lolo shrugged and rolled his pant leg back down. “That’s usually enough. Men take advantage of weakness in other men. They’re just like countries in that way. The strong man takes the weak man’s land. He makes the weak man work in his fields. ” I didn’t answer, and Lolo squinted up at the sky. “Better to be strong,” he said finally, rising to his feet.
