- Taking advantage of the visit as part of the Kosmopolis continuous programme by Karl Ove Knausgård, one of the most relevant voices in contemporary literature today and considered by some critics as the 21st-century Proust, we put to him the famous French author's questionnaire.

He looks so happy when he says "Writing".
great books great writer but also so generous in introducing us to Thomas Bernhard and Gombrowicz good writing is genealogical
He’s so attractive.
Neither are you
That makes no sense.
Anne Carson kicks ass
I think he is a good one!

It was all going so well until he answered 'Lennon and McCartney.'
Would probably do ya good if you didn't take yourself so seriously, m8.
It was perfect answer.
even someone as elitist as Susan Sontag once said that you can like both Roland Barthes and Bruce Springsteen brudda
@@katharos8231 Oh I like lots of "popular culture." I love U2, football, Ricky Gervais... I just have never been able to stand The Beatles. Find it all very annoying and repetitive.
A less repetitive compositional duo it is harder to imagine, unless you only listened to Obladi oblada all the time. The white album? Revolver? But it is maybe his most unexpected answer, I'd have thought something more indie or thrashy given his youthful listening. Or Lou Reed. Still, it's good that he can surprise; now, please, just give the guy the Nobel. Ishiguru still rankles...
