finished. heartbreaking. i had initially find the stories to be repetitive—and in a way they were—since most of them are within the same themes, but only in the last 3-4 stories, where the stories seems to have a distinct feature, that felt like i finally cracked the surface.

Olga Tokarczuk on the fourth person perspective, from her Nobel Prize speech.
I like this. Knausgaard would be pulling from Bakhtin here, who built the concept of polyphony from reading Doestoevsky. I think it’s something current literary fiction could do with much more of — a plurality of voices, a variety of contesting tones, the sheer life this brings.
