A New Name: Septology VI-VII Fosse Jon
Asle is an aging painter and widower who lives alone on the west coast of Norway. There, in Bj rgvin, lives another Asle, also a painter but lonely and consumed by alcohol. His only friends are his neighbor, Åsleik, a traditional fisherman-farmer, and Beyer, a gallerist who lives in the city.
Written in melodious and hypnotic "slow prose," Another Name is the final installment of Jon Fosse's Septology, "a major work of Scandinavian fiction" (Hari Kunzru) and an exquisite metaphysical novel about love, art, God, friendship, and the passage of Asle and Asle are doppelgängers--two versions of the same person, two versions of the same life.
