This is Book 2, of his "My Struggle" series (how did they translate this into German?), found at a thrift shop, unfortunately they didn't have book 1. Fortunately it's not required. Essentially it's the profoundly honest description of both his own and others lives in relation to his - A Norwegian, living in Stockholm, his wife, children, friends. There is nothing in it and then there is everything. I'm quite enjoying it. His plain speaking stream of consciousness and association inspire you, make it easier to write myself...
A rare and worthwhile dip into contemporary literature.
