The process of rewriting in Karl Ove Knausgård’s A time for everything. A fractal approach. A time for everything, Knausgård’s second novel, has been often referred to as a retelling of the Bible. Although the intertext with the biblical stories is not to be ignored, it is our opinion that Knausgård also rewrote some passages from the previous novel or included elements that he later used in the series My struggle. We consider A time for everything a fractal image of Knausgård’s writings and attempt to analyse items related to death and despair, from a fractal approach. Our aim is to demonstrate that there is a stochastic narrative, self-similar, both at a micro- and a macro-level.

Keywords: rewriting, fractal, creating, authenticity, fiction
