What Knausgaard has to say about Hitler, if you really care

I continue to skim through many pp of Karl Ove Knausgaard's My Struggle: Book 6, hoping that eventually he will return to his narrative; meanwhile, he's off on his longest-ever digression - by my measure more than 35 percent of the book, or about 400 pp!, largely focused on his analysis of Hitler's personality as revealed through his identically titled My Struggle (with some passages focused on the poetry of Celan, Joyce's epiphanies, Shoah, and other matters). The key points KOK raises, in particular as they relate to his "struggle," are that his early life is in many ways like Hitler's - though obviously the course of their lives bears no similarity at all; he notes that according to Christian ethics we should forgive AH, as he is another mortal human being and it's not ours to judge, yet he notes the distinction between Hitler the person and Hitler's deeds, which can never be forgiven (or fogotten). He also notes AH's methodology of establishing not just what KOK calls "an I" (the pronoun) but a "we," and he opposes the we to the "they": translated this means that Hitler unified the German nation by establishing an opposition to all those not part of (his view of) the nation: Jews, gypsies, homosexual, those w/ disabilities, and so forth. Though this is hardly a new insight, it's particularly painful to read this analysis today, in light of the current American political climate and national so-called leadership (KOK was writing in 2009, btw). All that said: 400 pages of digression? What's happening here? I keep hoping that KOK will return to his own story in the last quarter of this final volume, but my hope may be slim. Perhaps these essays and digressions merit careful and highly attentive reading - no doubt in my mind that KOK is a smart and original reader and thinker - but, no, I have neither the patience nor the interest in reading his "struggle" as a historical-political-literary analysis. I thought I was reading a novel.
