New York Times Editors' ChoiceLonglisted for the International Booker PrizeWhat makes us who we are? Asle, an ageing painter and widower who lives alone on the southwest coast of Norway, is reminiscing about his life. And why do we lead one life and not another?
There, in Bj rgvin, lives another Asle, also a painter but lonely and consumed by alcohol. His only friends are his neighbour, sleik, a traditional fisherman-farmer, and Beyer, a gallerist who lives in the city. Asle and Asle are doppelgngers--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
