The "Best of 2013" lists are starting to emerge (with apologies to anyone who might accidentally publish in December). The Guardian's list was fairly interesting as it contained a few titles which had escaped my attention over the last few months. My Struggle: Book Two (A Man in Love) by Karl Ove Knausgaard is (wait for it) the second in a series of six autobiographical tales which turned out to be fairly controversial as he included narratives about friends, neighbors and his ex-wife. (Norway's not so large so I'm sure he had a few uncomfortable nights at the neighborhood bar.) If you're assembling your end of year hide away in a cabin reading lists in the great snowy north, the first two Knausgaard books might be an interesting add.
Hope your week hasn't been too great a struggle.
