Septology by Jon Fosse Paperback Book

Description: Septology by Jon Fosse, Damion Searls Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description The celebrated Norwegian novelists magnum opus, shortlisted for the International Booker Prize, published in one volume for the first time.What makes us who we are? And why do we lead one life and not another? Asle, an ageing painter and widower who lives alone on the southwest coast of Norway, is reminiscing about his life. His only friends are his neighbour, sleik, a traditional fisherman-farmer, and Beyer, a gallerist who lives in the city. There, in Bjrgvin, lives another Asle, also a painter but lonely and consumed by alcohol. Asle and Asle are doppelgngers two versions of the same person, two versions of the same life, both grappling with existential questions about death, love, light and shadow, faith and hopelessness. Jon Fosses Septology is a transcendent exploration of the human condition, and a radically other reading experience incantatory, hypnotic and utterly unique. Jon Fosse is a major European writer. Karl Ove KnausgaardThe Beckett of the twenty-first century. Le MondeAn extraordinary seven-novel sequence about an old mans recursive reckoning with the braided realities of God, art, identity, family life and human life itself...the culminating project of an already major career. Randy Boyagoda, New York TimesA major work of Scandinavian fiction ...Fosse has written a strange mystical moebius strip of a novel, in which an artist struggles with faith and loneliness, and watches himself, or versions of himself, fall away into the lower depths. Hari KunzruI hesitate to compare the experience of reading these works to the act of meditation. But that is the closest I can come to describing how something in the critical self is shed in the process of reading Fosse, only to be replaced by something more primal. A mood. An atmosphere. The sound of words moving on a page. Ruth Margalit, The New York Review of Books Author Biography Jon Fosse was born in 1959 on the west coast of Norway and is the recipient of countless prestigious prizes, both in his native Norway and abroad.
