My Struggle Books in Order
My Struggle (Norwegian: Min Kamp) is a six-volume autobiographical novel series by Norwegian author Karl Ove Knausgaard, published in Norway from 2009 to 2011 and totaling over 3,500 pages. The series became a major literary sensation in Norway (selling to roughly 1 in 10 Norwegians) and internationally, noted for its unflinching, minutely detailed depiction of the author's own life, and was controversial both for its Norwegian title's echo of Hitler's Mein Kampf and for its candid portrayal of Knausgaard's family and friends.
