Jon Fosse’s Septology is a transcendent exploration of the human condition, and a radically other reading experience – incantatory, hypnotic, and utterly unique
In his magnum opus, Septology, a unique seven-novel sequence, Jon Fosse presents us with an indelible and poignant exploration of the human condition. Written in his trademark slow prose, The Other Name, the first volume in a trilogy of books, translated from Nynorsk by Damion Searls, was longlisted for the International Booker Prize in 2020.
In 2023, Fosse was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature ‘for his innovative plays and prose which give voice to the unsayable’.
