For five years, Karl Ove Knausgård sat at his desk to write every day but managed to produce nothing. The subject was his father. The obstacle was shame. Then he discovered that if he stopped calculating, stopped shaping, stopped protecting himself, he could write. The result was My Struggle: six volumes, 3,600 pages, and a literary sensation that cost him his family's approval and gave him something closer to freedom. Knausgård spoke to the BBC about overcoming shame and his creative process.
