Items related to A Time for Everything
What if God exists? What if angels are real? What if we treated religious tracts, including the Bible, as empirical evidence of the supernatural world? Karl Ove Knausgaard's major novel, A Time For Everything, is about God and his angels. It posits that angels are real, and that God exists. It posits, further, that heavenly beings evolve, and that even God may be subject to change. Written with Knausgaard's characteristic style - level, patient, and intensely readable - it is a dazzling and innovative examination of the relationships between human, angels and God. Knausgaard's novel A Time For Everything was originally published by Portobello as A Time to Every Purpose Under Heaven. The book is now restored to its original structure in a new edition which is faithful to the original text

About the Author:
KARL OVE KNAUSGAARD was born in Norway in 1968 and made his debut with Out of This World. This, his second novel, was nominated for the Nordic Council Prize, and was his first to be translated into English. He is the author of the six volume autobiographical novel My Struggle, an international bestseller.
Excerpt. © Reprinted by permission. All rights reserved.:
Antinous had been born in 1551 at Ardo, a small mountain town in the far north of Italy, where in all likelihood he remained until he began to study in 1565. Apart from one particular event, to which he was to return time after time for the rest of his life, little is known about his early years. The names of his parents and native town do not figure anywhere in Antinous’s writings, and, as they are otherwise characterized by a large amount of biographical detail, this early obscurity has aroused the curiosity of many readers. But if one is to attempt to understand Antinous, it isn’t to the inner man one must turn.

It posits that angels are real, and that God exists. It posits, further, that heavenly beings evolve, and that even God may be subject to change.
