Morning and Evening by Jon Fosse
A novel about the birth and death of Johannes the fisherman a key work in 2023 Nobel laureate Jon Fosses oeuvre.‘Something in the critical self is shed in the process of reading Fosse, only to be replaced by something more primalA mood. An atmosphere. The sound of words moving on a page.’
— Ruth Margalit, New York Review of Books
‘We are in the presence of rare literary greatness. It is for this greatness that the Swedish Academy has justly awarded Jon Fosse the Nobel prize.’
— Paul Binding, Times Literary Supplement
‘Jon Fosse is a major European writer.’
— Karl Ove Knausgaard, author of The Wolves of Eternity
‘The Beckett of the twenty-first century.’
— Le Monde
‘He touches you so deeply when you read him, and when you have read one work you have to continue.... What is special with him is the closeness in his writing. It touches on the deepest feelings that you have – anxieties, insecurities, questions of life and death – such things that every human being actually confronts from the very beginning. In that sense I think he reaches very far and there is a sort of a universal impact of everything that he writes. And it doesn’t matter if it is drama, poetry or prose – it has the same kind of appeal to this basic humanness.’
— Anders Olsson, Nobel committee
