Winter: (Seasons Quartet 2)

The second volume in his autobiographical quartet based on the seasons, `Winter` is an achingly beautiful collection of daily meditations and letters addressed directly to Knaugsaard`s unborn daughter”It is strange that you exist, but you don’™t know anything about what the world looks like. It’™s strange that there is a first time to see the sky, a first time to see the sun, a first time to feel the air against one’™s skin. It’™s strange that there is a first time to see a face, a tree, a lamp, pyjamas, a shoe. In my life that almost never happens anymore. But soon it will. In just a few months, I will see you for the first time.” In `Winter`, we rejoin the great Karl Ove Knausgaard as the birth of his daughter draws near. In preparation for her arrival, he takes stock of the world, seeing it anew. While new life is on the horizon, the earth is also in hibernation, waiting for the warmer weather to return. In his inimitably sensitive style, he writes about everything from the moon, winter boots and messiness, to owls and birthdays. Taking nothing for granted, he fills these everyday familiar objects and ideas with new meaning. Startling, compassionate, and exquisitely beautiful, Knausgaard`s writing is like nothing else. Somehow, he shows the world as it really is, at once mundane and sublime.
