Fatherhood: Vintage Minis by Don Bartlett, Karl Ove Knausgård, Karl Ove Knausgård, Karl Ove Knausgård

4.0

It’s only fair to read "Fatherhood" in this month since it’s Father’s Day soon. This was selected from the book "A Man in Love", a story which follows Knausgaard, the author himself, as he moves to Sweden, falls in love, and becomes a father to both lovely Vanja and Heidi.

"There was me trundling my child around like one of the many fathers who had evidently put fatherhood before all else."

A compelling, honest portrayal of love, daily life, and domesticity, house husband, between masculinity and feminism; after all, you just want to be a good father, husband, and person. After all, what only matters in the end is being content with your loved ones and making them happy.

"In the class and culture we belonged to, that meant adopting the same role, previously called the woman’s role."

I love the writing very much and gonna get “A Man in Love” soon. This was translated from the Norwegian.
