The English translation came out last year. I believe it's the newest novel.

Love this! Wish I'd thought of it for Halloween.

From this series, I would say I'm really enjoying the most recent.

From the big series, Book 2, but I think that's because I have a bunch of kids and feel like the world is crumbling outside while I make lunches.

Not a Knausgaard, but have you read Kairos by Jenny Erpenbeck?

Thank you. While I'm more of a Linda in real life, there will always be a Louise inside me.

I really loved this book. It's a bit of a beast but it builds to an emotional thrill. If that's your bag, I'd keep going.

You've inspired me to start shortlist challenges!

Recently I moved a lot of my non-fiction reading over to audiobooks. It changed everything. 🤣

And thanks for going that extra mile. That's really nice.

I went non-fiction after this:

A Day in the Life of Abed Salama (non-fiction with a very compelling narrative)
The Hundred Years' War in Palestine (very dense, lots of history, post-colonialism lens)

Thank you! It's out again so your link timing is A+
