Published in Norwegian between 2009 and 2011, the novel presents an absorbing first-person narrative of the life of a writer with the same name as the author, in a world at once fully disillusioned and thoroughly enchanted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 2015, a group of scholars began meeting to discuss the peculiarly religious qualities of \u003cem\u003eMy Struggle\u003c\/em\u003e. Some were interested in Knausgaard’s attention to explicitly religious subjects and artworks, others to what they saw as a more diffuse attention to the religiousness of contemporary life. The group wondered what reading these textures of religion in these volumes might say about our times, about writing, and about themselves. \u003cem\u003eThe Abyss or Life is Simple\u003c\/em\u003e is the culmination of this collective endeavour—a collection of interlocking essays on ritual, beauty, and the end of the world.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47464292581612,"sku":"9780226821320","price":180.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780226821320-the-abyss-or-life-is-simple.jpg?v=1775045044"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/jeremy-biles.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
