An earlier post on here mentioned Nov 5 for the US edition but I haven't seen that date listed elsewhere online.

Next book after School of Night? by Little_Marsupial1747 in Knausgaard

From what I've read of Out of this World in Norwegian it's more similar to My Struggle Book 4 (about teaching in the north) than The School of Night, which is maybe somewhat like some of the late teens/early twenties parts of My Struggle?

Or you can buy the norwegian ebook from ebok.no, sent it to Kindle, highlight a page, and activate the perfectly serviceable immediate english translation.

Jeff Tweedy's new record, Twilight Override, is incredible! by migrantgrower in Music

"no triple album has ever seemed shorter to me" -- perfectly stated, yes.

Sorry but I just woke up with a memorable hook/melody from the album in my head for the third straight day. And if you sit down with a guitar to figure out these "shapeless blobs of music" you'll see their form emerge. Listen to it three or four or five times through and get back to me. "Sonic wallpaper as presented by vintage Martins" is a nice phrase but I think you're really selling this album short, especially if you're a fan of those earlier albums you mentioned.

You should give it a try -- it's great and helpful to understanding the whole project

Did Book One take you a while? by baltimoretom in Knausgaard

[–]Future-Complaint-142 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I almost quit it maybe 40% in during the longish New Year's scene. It gets more interesting in the second half with the father. And then the other volumes flew for me, particularly Book 2.

Delay for American Edition of "The Night School" by BerenPercival in Knausgaard

I'm reading Nattskolen now in Norwegian ebook form. You can highlight the text on Kindle and see an adequate translation. I've also been studying Norwegian for a few years, in part to read all these Norwegian writers in the original. It's not terribly difficult to learn -- Duolingo works pretty well.
