The Cult of Karl Ove Knausgaard

Last fall, a picture of Jeremy Strong walking down the street in New York with Karl Ove Knausgaard made the rounds online. The Succession star, known for his unabashed sincerity, had previously described the Norwegian writer as his “idol.” Once, in a video, he called Knausgaard’s autobiographical novel, My Struggle, “the most honest expression of life that I’ve ever read,” and named the six-volume series his favorite book of all time.
