Septology

About

This Norwegian novel explores the existential questions of identity, life, death, love, and faith through the parallel lives of two painters named Asle. Set in Norway, the story follows an ageing widower reflecting on his life, intertwined with the experiences of another lonely and alcoholic Asle living in the city. Jon Fosse's Septology is praised for its incantatory and hypnotic writing style, offering a unique and transcendent exploration of the human condition. Critics compare Fosse to Beckett and highlight the novel's meditative and atmospheric reading experience.
