Known as the new Ibsen in the German press and celebrated throughout Western Europe, Jon Fosse is a luminary in contemporary Norwegian literature, recently winning the prestigious Nobel Prize for Literature in 2023.
The New York Times notes, “Reading Fosse is a singular and transporting experience…he is our age’s great writer of light and darkness.”
