A brilliant and personal examination by sensational and best-selling author Karl Ove Knausgaard of his Norwegian compatriot Edvard Munch, the famed artist best known for his iconic painting The Scream Â
In So Much Longing in So Little Space, Karl Ove Knausgaard sets out to understand the enduring and awesome power of Edvard Munch's work by training his gaze on the landscapes that inspired Munch and speaking firsthand with other contemporary artists, including Anselm Kiefer, for whom Munch's legacy looms large. Bringing together art history, biography, and memoir, Knausgaard tells a passionate, freewheeling, and pensive story about not just one of history's most significant painters, but the very meaning of choosing the artist's life, as he himself has done. This utterly original and ardent work of criticism will delight and educate both experts and novices of literature and the visual arts alike.

"Knausgaard is the first author I've read who discussed the space in which art happens for the artist and the viewer. It is very much about the way art is experienced, and is a fantastic read."

- If you haven't read Knausgaard before, this book may come as a surprise to you. That's because most books about Artists are written by “experts†who more often than not have axes to grind, theories to advance in art criticism.
Not Knausgaard.
Like his novels where he foolishly lays out his bad behavior, raw emotions, and his reactions to everyday life, here he writes about his personal responses to Munch's work. And like his prior books, he is a master at describing the complex, often contradictory feelings that are aroused in him by Munch's paintings.
Knausgaard doesn't canonize Munch; he depicts a flawed, often amatuerish, and always insecure artist who nonetheless pursues his ambition relentlessly. Munch left behind a lifetime's cache of works, many of which are not very good, but the aggregate of those paintings articulate the remarkable journey he took.
Knausgaard understands the artist's process; the Doubt and Belief in Painting, as Gerhard Richter spoke about. I think he would be the first to admit that much of his own writing is not very good, but he is still working on it. - Really interested in the subject but book provided little background in a language which is mediocre to the best. Not sure if it is same in original or issue is in translation
- More genius.
- Knausgaard is the first author I've read who discussed the space in which art happens for the artist and the viewer. It is very much about the way art is experienced, and is a fantastic read.
