A Time for Everything

Description

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. The 'evidence' is partly biblical and partly fictional; the result is an innovative and thought-provoking examination of religion, and the relationship between humans, angels, and God. Karl Ove Knausgaard's second novel, previously published by Portobello Books as A Time to Every Purpose Under Heaven, is here restored to its original structure. 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.

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.
