Random House presents the audiobook edition of So Much Longing in So Little Space, by Karl Ove Knausgaard, read by Matthew Waterson.
In So Much Longing in So Little Space, Karl Ove Knausgaard explores the life and work of Edvard Munch. Setting out to understand the enduring power of Munch's painting, Knausgaard reflects on the essence of creativity, on choosing to be an artist, experiencing the world through art and its influence on his own writing.Â
As co-curator of a major new exhibition of Munch's work in Oslo, Knausgaard visits the landscapes that inspired him and speaks with contemporary artists, including Vanessa Baird and Anselm Kiefer.Â
Bringing together art history, biography and memoir, and drawing on ideas of truth, originality and memory, So Much Longing in So Little Space is a brilliant and personal examination of the legacy of one of the world's most iconic painters, and a meditation on art itself.

- 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.

- 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.
