Yo es otro

In this third installment of Jon Fosse's Septology, according to Hai Kunzru, the most important work of fiction in Scandinavian literature, the two Asles meet for the first time in their youth. They are incredibly alike, they dress the same and they both want to be painters. At Bjørgvin art school, Asle falls in love with his future wife, Ales. Written in Jon Fosse's slow, melodic prose, I'm Another: Septology III_V is an exquisite metaphysical novel about love, God, friendship, and the passage of time. How are religion, art and alcohol related? Fosse is able to make the reader feel the adolescent tremor of entering the world. At a time when the search for transcendence is once again topical in art, Septology does not play, it shows the mystical experience in a character who does not seek it, who finds it in the consubstantial doubt of life, in fear without object, in the luminous darkness.
