Description: Aliss at the Fire WINNER OF THE 2023 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE by Jon Fosse, Damion Searls A haunting exploration of love and loss by the Beckett of the twenty-first century (Le Monde). FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description In her old house by the fjord, Signe lies on a bench and sees a vision of herself as she was more than twenty years earlier: standing by the window waiting for her husband Asle, on that terrible late November day when he took his rowboat out onto the water and never returned. Her memories widen out to include their whole life together, and beyond: the bonds of family and the battles with implacable nature stretching back over five generations, to Asles great-great-grandmother Aliss. In Jon Fosses vivid, hallucinatory prose, all these moments in time inhabit the same space, and the ghosts of the past collide with those who still live on.Aliss at the Fire, is a visionary masterpiece, a haunting exploration of love and loss that ranks among the greatest meditations on marriage and human fate.

Review Jon Fosse is a major European writer.- Karl Ove Knausgaard, author ofMy Struggle -The Beckett of the twenty-first century.- Le Monde -Jon Fosse has managed, like few others, to carve out a literary form of his own.-Nordic Council Literary Prize -It is some measure of Fosses talents that he manages to weave such a compelling narrative from a largely static setting ... Nothing really happens and yet there is something quietly dramatic about Fosses meandering and rhythmic prose, aided by Damion Searlss limber translation, which has a strangely mesmerising effect. ... [A]n intense reading experience.- Lucy Popescu,Independent -Fosse carefully captures the contradictions...It is hard not to marvel at what peace and sorrow he fits into a single thought...-George Berridge,TLS - - Details ISBN1804271020 Author Damion Searls Pages 80 Publisher Fitzcarraldo Editions Year 2023 ISBN-13 9781804271025 Format Paperback Imprint Fitzcarraldo Editions Place of Publication London Country of Publication United Kingdom Translated from Norwegian Nynorsk Alternative 9781804270042 Edited by Damion Searls Audience General Language English ISBN-10 1804271020 DEWEY FIC Publication Date 2023-11-01 UK Release Date 2023-11-01 NZ Release Date 2024-03-18 We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
