In Spring
by (norway) Carl Ove Knausgaard
About This Novel
Karl Ove Knausgaard, a master of contemporary literature and a genius of observation and introspection, has created the third volume of a tetralogy based on the four seasons. Knausgaard's four-part literary project with the theme of the four seasons takes on a completely different shape in the new "In Spring". This time he abandoned all writing gimmicks or designs, and looked at his family and life completely as a father, recording for his newly born daughter a world she still knew nothing about - what kind of expectations she lived in her mother's belly, what hardships she had encountered with her mother, how her arrival healed the trauma in the family, and what kind of busy and tiring day she experienced under the care of her father not long after she came to this world. "In Spring" is another concentrated expression of Knausgaard's sensitive, honest, and speculative writing style. It is also the most emotionally rich part of the tetralogy. He reflects on his relationship with the world in trivial daily affairs, telling his newborn daughter what the bond between man and the world is, and at the same time leading us to rediscover the meaning of human existence in the world.
