Anyone struggling to read anything post Knausgaard?
Hello, please excuse this post as I’m not a deep reader particularly but I’m just starting book 6 of My Struggle, and I’ve deliberately been pacing out the books over the last 2 years - the moment I finished “A Death in the Family”, I knew these books were going to connect with me like nothing else has. The way he describes daily life, it feels like by describing his own life this way, somehow he’s describing mine.
The only problem is since I read these, I just can’t settle to reading anything else since I read these. I guess you could say they perfectly hit the spot of what I like and I don’t know where to go from here. Has anyone else had this? What did you read that gave you that same vibe? Elena Ferrante and Rachel Cusk are on the list
