I Try To Write About Small Insignificant Things. I Try To Find Out If It’s Possible To Say Anything About Them. And I Almost Always Do If I Sit Down And Write About Something. There Is Something In That Thing That I Can Write About. It’s Very Much Like A Rehearsal. An Exercise, In A Way.

I Try To Write About Small Insignificant

Karl Ove Knausgard

I Try To Write About Small Insignificant Things. I Try To Find Out If It’s Possible To Say Anything About Them. And I Almost Always Do If I Sit Down And Write About Something. There Is Something In That Thing That I Can Write About. It’s Very Much Like A Rehearsal. An Exercise, In A Way.

Insignificant Things

National Identity Is A Motion. It's Something You're Inside, You Don't Get What's Happening, You Can't See It From Above. And That's Where You Have To Write. You Can't See What's Happening Now Or What's Going To Happen, So You Just Dive Into It And Write.
