A Time for Everything
A Time for Everything | Karl Ove Knausgaard
3 posts | 5 read | 3 to read
In the sixteenth century, Antinous Bellori, a boy of eleven, is lost in a dark forest and stumbles upon two glowing beings, one carrying a spear, the other a flaming torch This event is decisive in Belloris life, and he thereafter devotes himself to the pursuit and study of angels, the intermediaries of the divine. Beginning in the Garden of Eden and soaring through to the present, A Time for Everything reimagines pivotal encounters between humans and angels: the glow of the cherubim watching over Eden; the profound love between Cain and Abel despite their differences; Lots shame in Sodom; Noahs isolation before the flood; Ezekiel tied to his bed, prophesying ferociously; the death of Christ; and the emergence of sensual, mischievous cherubs in the seventeenth century. Alighting upon these dramatic scenes from the Bible and beyond Knausgaards imagination takes flight: the result is a dazzling display of storytelling at its majestic, spellbinding best. Incorporating and challenging tradition, legend, and the Apocrypha, these penetrating glimpses hazard chilling questions: can the nature of the divine undergo change, and can the immortal perish?

it is the time of love, a time for friends and adventure
Because the time of love is long and short,
It lasts forever, we remember it. 🎶

To every thing there is a season,
and a time to every purpose under heaven:
A time to be born, a time to die;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to love, and a time to hate;
A time of war, and a time of peace.

Aaaaand my fiction #bookhaul 🤗 Would you believe how sore my arms/shoulders are? Got a great deal at Europa (1 is on the NBA longlist for translated works) so I snatched 3, a couple more from Feminist Press, another NBA fiction longlist nominee from Soho Press, and the ONLY Knausgaard I didn‘t own yet (minus My Struggle Book 6 out tomorrow), plus a few other obscure titles I wouldn‘t usually pick up on my own. #BKBF
