We discuss the mysterious mastery of Karl Ove Knausgaard’s “My Struggle,” go on a crash tour of the history of the memoir/autobiography, and examine the other book from which Knausgaard borrowed his title. Finally, the great Jarvis Best joins us to talk about just how powerful this book is in a world where so many of us find it much easier to hide.
