För att vara en så himla lång bok känns det som om ungefär alla storylines lämnades helt oavslutade och att alla röda trådar försvann typ halvvägs igenom boken.

Ja prachtig. Met aan het einde nog hele mooie onverwachte inzichten over de dood en hoe cultuur met de dood omgaat. Dat gaf nog ook wel een extra diepte aan het boek achteraf gezien, waardoor alle stukjes samen vallen.
Eigenlijk is het hele boek een intro om zijn essay op een goede manier te laten vallen, zodat hij het hardst aankomt.
Al met al een erg mooi boek met diepgaande inzichten, maar vooral heel erg mooi, realistisch en uitgebreid geschreven!

In classic Knausgaard fashion, I went from wondering why I was bothering to devouring 400 pages in a few hours. If you like Norwegian domestic strife, Satanism, and the inconclusive, I recommend this.

Most major reviews essentially spoil the entire book, because there's so much set up here, and as such it's very difficult to get through in the beginning, when we first start bouncing through narrators.

A dauntless reader is rewarded with some great horror. Not much else to say other than I'm excited for the next installment.
