Synopsis

Spring is a deeply moving novel about family, our everyday lives, our joys and our struggles. "Today is Wednesday the thirteenth of April 2016, it is twelve minutes to eleven, and I have just finished writing this book for you. What happened that summer nearly three years ago, and its repercussions, are long since over. Sometimes it hurts to live, but there is always something to live for." Spring follows a father and his newborn daughter through one day in April, from sunrise to sunset. A day filled with everyday routine, the beginnings of life and its light, but also its deep struggles and its darkness.

Goodreads review by Lee on September 26, 2018

KOK enthusiasts expecting more of the same (see Autumn, Winter) will come away with expectations undermined but they won't be disappointed -- like spring itself, this one refreshes the overall project (which by the end of "Winter" had begun to feel, if not cold, than maybe a little rote). This one s......more

Goodreads review by Biljana on June 12, 2021

Formom drugačiji od prethodna dva dijela tetralogije Četiri godišnja doba, napisanih u formi kratkih eseja, U proleće Karla Uvea Knausgora, pretposlednji je dio, napisan u formi tri veće cjeline - dnevničkog zapisa, koji je po svojoj sadržini mnogo intimniji, ogoljeniji i iskreniji. ''April stoji izm......more

Goodreads review by holden on April 16, 2021

Kada je pisac u stanju da se ovako ogoli pred svetom, na ovakav bolan i ranjiv način, i to ne samo sebe, već i živote onih koje najviše voli i do kojih mu je najviše stalo, književnost prevazilazi neku uobičajenu liniju koja je karakteriše kao književnost. Ovo je uvid u ljudsku dušu, njen mrak i nje......more
