| Summary |
2022 International Booker Prize, Finalist 2022 National Book Award, Finalist New York Times Editors' Choice "With Septology , Fosse has found a new approach to writing fiction, different from what he has written before and-it is strange to say, as the novel enters its fifth century-different from what has been written before. Septology feels new."- WYATT MASON, HARPERS Asle is an aging painter and widower who lives alone on the west coast of Norway. His only friends are his neighbor, Åsleik, a traditional fisherman-farmer, and Beyer, a gallerist who lives in the city. There, in Bjørgvin, lives another Asle, also a painter but lonely and consumed by alcohol. Asle and Asle are doppelgängers-two versions of the same person, two versions of the same life. Written in melodious and hypnotic "slow prose," A New Name is the final installment of Jon Fosse's Septology , "a major work of Scandinavian fiction" ( Hari Kunzru ) and an exquisite metaphysical novel about love, art, God, friendship, and the passage of time. |
