To write, for the Norwegian artist, is to resist easy thinking and preconceived notions that inhibit awareness of our lives. Knausgaard writes to \"erode  his] own notions about the world. . . . It is one thing to know something, another to write about it.\" The key to enhanced living is the ability to hit upon something inadvertently, to regard it from a position of defenselessness and unknowing. A deeply personal meditation, \u003ci\u003eInadvertent\u003c\/i\u003e is a cogent and accessible guide to the creative process of one of our most prolific and ingenious artists.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eKarl Ove Knausgaard\u003c\/b\u003e is an award-winning Norwegian author whose autobiographical novel cycle, \u003ci\u003eMy Struggle\u003c\/i\u003e, spans six volumes which have been translated into over fifteen languages.
