Summary/Abstract: The author of this article reviews the last (sixth) volume of Karl Ove Knausgård’s novel cycle My Struggle (2011; Polish edition – 2018). Hailed as one of the most interesting contemporary writers, Knausgård often focuses on the trope of “the border” in his novels. The border metaphor allows the author of this article to look at the book and the whole idiosyncratic autobiographical cycle of My Struggle in many different ways.
