About This Novel
Karl Ove Knausgaard, a master of contemporary literature and a genius of observation and introspection, has created the second volume of a tetralogy based on the four seasons. In preparation for the arrival of new life, Knausgaard looked at our world with the fresh eyes of a first sight, incorporating daily musings into letters to his unborn daughter. With his unique and sensitive brushstrokes, he carefully outlines themes such as the moon, water, chaos, owls, and birthdays. He completely sets aside our usual perceptions and gives new meaning to these familiar, everyday things. New life is about to come, but the earth is still in hibernation, waiting for the weather to warm up and all things to revive. Knausgaard's writing is precise, beautiful and full of compassion. He writes about the world we know well, but it is very different from our daily cognition. This is the true face of the world from another perspective: both banal and magnificent.
