I had to reach the sixth book for a class so I do not have the other 5 books under my belt to reflect all of that but I definitely would consider reading them all ! Maybe not the fourth because the author admits to not liking it. Definitely a controversial at times but where the prose really shined was when he was most vulnerable with us. I didn’t mine the Celan essay because celan is all about what’s missing and what’s lost and the afterword and that’s exactly what Karl Ove is thinking about. The Hitler essay can be a bit dreary as he kind of has to write it as he titled his books my struggle….. but the parts about his family were really beautiful to me and his self torment as well … do not regret reading at all :)
