“All
the books I liked were basically about the same topic. White N-----s by
Ingvar Ambjørnsen, Beatles and Lead by Lars Saabye Christensen, Jack by
Alf Lundell, On the Road by Jack Kerouac, Last Exit to Brooklyn by Hubert Selby, Jr., Novel with Cocaine by M. Agayev, Colossus by Finn
Alnæs, Lasso Round the Moon by Agnar Mykle, The History of Bestiality
trilogy by Jens Bjørneboe, Gentlemen by Klas Ostergren, Icarus by Axel
Jensen, The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger, Humlehjertene by Ola
Bauer and Post Office by Charles Bukowski.
Books about young men
who struggled to fit into society, who wanted more from life than
routines, more from life than a family, in short, young men who hated
middle-class values and sought freedom. They travelled, they got drunk,
they read and they dreamed about their life's Great Passion or writing
the Great Novel.
Everything they wanted I wanted too.”
~~ Karl Ove Knausgard
