New knausgaard essay just dropped>https://archive.is/D8nUq>What are we living for?“The Brothers Karamazov” seeks the answer in the little life, among the small people, in the frail, the fragile, the fallible, the failed.

This is what makes “The Brothers Karamazov” a great novel. It is never at rest.
