Substack: Dividual
I am a passenger
And I ride, and I ride
I ride through the city's backsides
I see the stars come out of the sky
Yeah, they're bright in a hollow sky

I see the bright and hollow sky
Over the city's ripped back sky
And everything looks good tonight

We dissect My Struggle by Karl Ove Knausgaard, the Nordic phenom who wrote at least 3,936 pages about himself and ushered in the Age of Autofiction. Don't forget, you can't spell "Karl Ove" without "love."
