Jon Fosse, Vaim
Transit Books / Fitzcarraldo, 2025
Fosse’s first new novel since winning the Nobel Prize, the first in a series of three books set in the fictional small town of Vaim.
★ Starred Review
“A spectacular story of loneliness, love, and death… It would ruin this endlessly magical and surprising novel to summarize what happens… [one character] sums it all up with understated humor when he considers having his epitaph read, ‘all was strange.’… Indelible turns of phrase… Unforgettable.” — Publisher’s Weekly
