Unrestrained, uncompromising, intimate. What remains of all the romance and passion when everyday life takes hold of the lives of two modern individuals striving for self-fulfillment with small children? Aspirations and reality collide. The daily struggle for personal space, joy of life, and time becomes an inextricable conflict. One's own identity must be defended with claws, and love must be rediscovered time and again. A feat that Karl Ove Knausgard narrates in his novel "Loving" with tenderness and disarming honesty. The radical portrayal of fatherhood from his acclaimed predecessor novel "Death" is now complemented in "Loving" by the uncompromising search for closeness and connection.
