Jon Fosse Libros

Fosse ha sido comparado con Ibsen y Beckett, destacando su austeridad emocional y su feroz simplicidad poética. Con una voz única y prosa sencilla, su obra hipnotiza. Para él, escribir es como rezar, y leer su trabajo es entrar en una profundidad desconocida. La historia sigue a una pareja de adolescentes que espera un hijo mientras lucha por sobrevivir en un mundo hostil. A través de esta narrativa, se exploran la indefensión y la mirada despiadada de la sociedad, al mismo tiempo que se revive el primer amor y la experiencia de comenzar la vida. La obra es emocional, iluminando desde la oscuridad de una situación extrema. Fosse describe la escritura como una experiencia fascinante, donde cada palabra y signo de puntuación son medidos para evocar sensaciones, ritmos y latidos que acompañan la trama. La unidad entre forma y contenido es esencial, similar a la conexión entre alma y cuerpo en un ser humano. Jon Fosse es reconocido como uno de los grandes escritores europeos, y su enfoque musical en la escritura resuena profundamente en su obra.

Nace un niño que se llamará Johannes. Muere un anciano llamado Johannes. Entre estos dos puntos, Jon Fosse nos da los detalles de toda una vida, crudamente comprimidos. Comenzando con los pensamientos del padre de Johannes cuando su esposa se pone de parto, y terminando con los propios pensamientos de Johannes cuando se embarca en un día de su vida en el que todo es exactamente igual, pero totalmente diferente, Mañana y tarde es una obra sobre el hermoso sueño de que nuestras vidas tienen sentido. Los momentos a lo largo de la novela son simples, cotidianos, pero la prosa rítmica, tortuosa y recortada de Fosse guía hábilmente a los lectores a través del pasado y el presente

WINNER OF THE 2023 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE 2022 International Booker Prize, Finalist 2022 National Book Award, Finalist 2022 National Book Critics Circle Award, Finalist New York Times Editors' Choice Named a Best Book of the Year by The New Yorker and Bookforum What makes us who we are? And why do we lead one life and not another? Asle, an ageing painter and widower who lives alone on the southwest coast of Norway, is reminiscing about his life. His only friends are his neighbour, 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, both grappling with existential questions about death, love, light and shadow, faith and hopelessness. The three volumes of Jon Fosse's Septology--The Other Name, I is Another, and A New Name--collected in for the first time in this limited hardcover edition, are a transcendent exploration of the human condition, and a radically other reading experience--incantatory, hypnotic, and utterly unique.
