6/12/2023 0 Comments My Struggle by Karl Ove Knausgård![]() ![]() Is it true that “My Struggle” was originally going to be twelve books? This interview has been edited and condensed. ![]() ![]() What I’d taken for a self-portrait was more like a snapshot, and what had seemed like a monument was actually something stranger-what Knausgaard, in our conversation, called a “cave in time.” Over the course of an afternoon’s conversation and a subsequent e-mail exchange, it became clear to me that I had not quite understood Knausgaard’s book. But if the passage of time has made the man a little blurrier, it’s also brought the novel into greater focus. To some readers, these changes may feel almost like a betrayal-as though “Karl Ove,” the character, has walked off the page, gone rogue. (“I have to hide from myself how much people know about me,” he said.) He is divorced from Linda Boström, to whom he is married in the novel. He is now, for one thing, famous in an unusual way, having shared a remarkable number of intimate and embarrassing details with his readers. The person who wrote those books both is and is not the man who, last month, came by my office to talk about them. But it came out in Norwegian, in 2011, three years after Karl Ove Knausgaard began writing the first volume, in 2008. The sixth and final volume of “ My Struggle” was published in English this fall. ![]()

Lewis did not devise an argument for the existence of God or an argument for what kind of God exists or an argument for why Jesus must have been God in the flesh. The fact is that the radio broadcasts were Lewis’s personal testimony given from a detached, third-person point of view. ![]() Unbeknownst to the producers, he had already given his personal testimony. When he was asked to give his personal testimony over the radio, he said that he was not the sort of person who gave their personal testimony and that if he did give his personal testimony, it would be repetitious. Lewis had completed the last of his four series of radio broadcast talks in 1944, the BBC came back to him several times in an effort to induce him to do more broadcasts on other subjects. ![]() 6/12/2023 0 Comments The indistractable![]() ![]() Indistractable is a guide to making decisions and seeing them through.Įmpowering and optimistic, this is the book that will help you design your time, realise your ambitions, and live the life you really want.

Figure 1 - Key trilobite species discussed in the text. Several species, famously those from the Devonian period of Morocco (about 420 million to 360 million years ago), developed a rich array of protective spines, which has made them a popular choice among fossil collectors and dealers. In addition, trilobites have evolved several different life strategies, from burrowing to swimming these are reflected in their varied appearances, or morphologies (Fig. ![]() Over the course of their long history - which dates back to near the beginning of the Cambrian period, around 520 million years ago - they have inhabited a wide range of marine environments, from reefs to abyssal depths. ![]() Trilobites make up one of the most fascinating and diverse groups in the fossil record. ![]() ![]() ![]() Bottom Line: Another work of genius from Jennifer.
