I have been sending my MS to agents in the UK, and not being successful. No one has given any feedback so no idea why.
I am reading Knausgaard's My struggle, which is engrossing. I finished Vol 1 A death in the family quickly and moved onto Vol. 2 A man in love. He writes with a kind of abandon, every detail seems to be noted...The style of Emily Perkins' book The Forrests was similar - an intricately chiselled shell, beautiful but empty - lovely language, nothing to say. Ultimately boring.
Knausgaard is different, first because he writes about himself, his family and his friends with searing honesty, and secondly because the reader is privy to his thoughts about issues which confront every one of us, love, life, death.
