Reviews

‘Reading Jon Fosse is always a curious and wondrous experience. Vaim is no exception: it ferries the reader along the stream of the “ordinary” mind, from which suddenly shines forth a luminous beyond.’ — Xiaolu Guo, author of Call Me Ishmaelle ‘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 ‘The Beckett of the twenty-first century.’ — Le Monde ‘Jon Fosse is a major European writer.’ — Karl Ove Knausgaard, author of The Wolves of Eternity
