From the international phenomenon Karl Ove Knausgaard the extraordinary final volume of 'the
most significant literary enterprise of our times' ( Guardian ). In this final novel in the
My Struggle cycle Karl Ove Knausgaard examines life death love and literature with unsparing
rigour and begins to count the cost of his project. The End reflects on the fallout from the
earlier books with Knausgaard facing the pressures of literary acclaim and its often
shattering repercussions. It is at once a meditation on writing and its relationship with
reality and an account of a writer's relationship with himself - from his ambitions to his
doubts and frailties. ' Epic... It creates a world that absorbs you utterly ' Sunday Times
' Compulsively addictive ' Daily Telegraph 'My Struggle has strong claim to be the great
literary event of the twenty-first century ' Guardian 'A mesmerising thought-provoking and
genuinely important work of art' Spectator
