{"product_id":"9781913097721","title":"A New Name - WINNER OF THE 2023 NOBEL PRIZE IN LITERATURE : Septology VI-VII - Jon Fosse","description":"Asle is an ageing painter and widower who lives alone on the southwest coast of Norway. In nearby Bjorgvin another Asle, also a painter, is lying in the hospital, consumed by alcoholism. Asle and Asle are doppelg�ngers - two versions of the same person, two versions of the same life, both grappling with existential questions. In this final instalment of Jon Fosse's Septology, the major prose work by `the Beckett of the twenty-first century' (Le Monde), we follow the lives of the two Asles as younger adults in flashbacks: the narrator meets his lifelong love, Ales; joins the Catholic Church; and makes a living by trying to paint away all the pictures stuck in his mind. A New Name: Septology VI-VII is a transcendent exploration of the human condition, and a radically other reading experience - incantatory, hypnotic, and utterly unique.","brand":"Jon Fosse","offers":[{"title":"232 pages \/ 08\/09\/2021 \/ Modern \u0026 contemporary fiction (post c 1945)","offer_id":57564079882615,"sku":"9781913097721","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0682\/9454\/1624\/files\/9781913097721.jpg?v=1792227946","url":"https:\/\/gulpfictionbooks.com\/products\/9781913097721","provider":"Gulp Fiction","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
