I wish all essays were written like this

Jon Fosse is the next Nobel Prize winner literature….I guarantee it!

  1. Yes, you are well ahead of the pack, congratulations to you too for this guess.
    I haven’t read him, but I sent the complete volume if Septology to my brother earlier this year, recognising it as something of a masterpiece, though not one I plan on reading any time soon.

      These essays are just wonderful….and so different from his masterpiece Septology. I read vol I-III and it was so exhausting, pages and pages of streaming consciousness. Absolutely brilliant to write like that but I’m going to have to wait for a while until I read the rest of the triology.
      Another review from 2017 was “Suzannah” a play by Fosse. Take the time to read this one act play. 68 pages….you will be amazed.
      Jon Fosse will win Nobel Prize for Literaure very soon…and now he has!

      You have so much luck picking Miles Franklin Awards….now I finally have some luck too! I still cannot remember why I read Fosse (play, essays) in 2017. I still have his book “Triolgy” on my bookcase. Another short book and, thank goodness, not streaming consciousness!
