Im Sommer

The Seasons volumes by Karl Ove Knausgård: "In Summer" is the fourth and final part of a magnificent love letter to life and the sensually tangible world - written by a father for his youngest daughter. Knausgård writes about sprinklers and snails, red currants and tears, about fireweed, the circus, ladybugs, and crab fishing. He also keeps a diary in which the small events in a family's life are recorded against the backdrop of all that a summer brings in terms of thoughts, memories, longings, and experiences of art and literature. "Time is profoundly deep, the perspective one has as a child does not reach far. For me, my grandparents' childhood was out of reach; it was something I knew nothing about - and for my children, my parents' childhood is out of reach!".
