I said nothing to Mum about what had happened. I knew what she’d think. It’d be my fault for letting him try.

Wolf of Eternity - Quests - Lost Ark Codex Wolf of Eternity - Quests - Lost Ark Codex

In present-day Russia, Alevtina Kotov, a biologist working at Moscow University, is traveling with her young son to the home of her stepfather, to celebrate his eightieth birthday. Most of her drive has gone, and she finds herself in a place she doesn't want to be, without really understanding how she got there. Her stepfather, a musician, raised her as his own daughter, and she was never interested in learning about her biological father; when she finally starts looking into him, she learns that he died many years ago and left two sons, Joar and Syvert.There was no one in when I got home. Joar was at school and Mum must have gone somewhere after work. I felt restless and impatient, wanting something to happen, but of course nothing did. The interview had gone all right, so it couldn’t have been that that made it so hard for me to relax. Den nesten delen av boken utspiller seg i Russland, vekslende mellom ulike karakterer og stemmer, men hovedsakelig befinner vi oss i hodet til en middelaldrende biologiprofessor i Moskva. Hennes refleksjoner og menneskemøter åpner opp boken, slipper inn lys fra både evolusjonsteorien og den russiske kulturhistorien. Mange spennende tanker og situasjoner, formidlet gjennom en karakter jeg har langt mer sympati og forståelse for - til tross for at hun befinner seg i en helt annen verden enn min egen. I løpet av første 400-sidene skjer det nærmest ingenting. Vi følger den 19-år gamle Syvert gjennom noen ørkesløse uker i en Sørlandsby på slutten av 80-tallet. Han er nettopp kommet hjem fra militærtjeneste, og bruker dagene til å spille fotball, loke rundt på eiendommen, lage middag, henge med venner, gå på byen. Et helt vanlig ungdomsliv, fylt av helt vanlige ungdomstanker. Banalt og uinteressant, slik det skal være. Men hvorfor skrive om det i over 400-sider? Hvorfor utbrodere i hver minste detalj hva denne vanlige, altså selvsentrerte og korttenkte, ungdommen foretar seg i løpet av en dag? Den ekstreme hverdagsrealismen vi kjenner så godt fra Knausgårds tidligere verk, med sin langsomme dveling omkring ubetydelige gjøremål og suggererende nyanserikdom i skildringen av hverdagslige hendelser, er tatt i en mer banal og uinteressant retning i denne boken. Der vi tidligere har kjent oss igjen i Karl Oves opplevelser og følelser, blitt overrasket av hans tanker og refleksjoner, latt oss imponere av den språklige rikdommen og de skarpe beskrivelsene, er det stort sett bare kjedsommelig selvfølgeligheter formidlet gjennom en livløs prosa som kommer ut av den 19-år gamle Syvert. Det er så banalt og omfattende på samme tid at det nærmer seg det parodiske, hvis det ikke allerede har tippet over. Although the interview had gone well, I knew I never should have done it. That must have been what was tormenting me.
