2022 Finalist: 2022 International Booker Prize, Finalist2022 National Book Award, FinalistNew York Times Editors ChoiceWith 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, HARPERSAsle 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 Bj rgvin, 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 Fosses Septology, a major work of Scandinavian fiction (Hari Kunzru) and an exquisite metaphysical novel about love, art, God, friendship, and the passage of time.Jon Fosse is one of Norways most celebrated authors and playwrights. He 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. Since his 1983 fiction debut, Raudt, svart [Red, Black], Fosse has written prose, poetry, essays, short stories, childrens books, and over forty plays, with more than a thousand productions performed and translations into fifty languages.National Book AwardsBook specifications:Collection: SeptologyDimensions: 201 x 132Author: Jon FosseCover type: PaperbackPublishing Year: 2022Publishing Month: 2Pages: 220Language: EnglishPublisher: Transit BooksWeight: 249 g
