Jon Fosse, noted author,
playwright and translator is the Nobel Prize in Literature awardee for 2023. He
will receive the highest honour in literature on December 10 from King Carl XVI
Gustaf, the King of Sweden, at a formal ceremony in Stockholm. The Nobel is
awarded by the Swedish Academy. Last year, the award was conferred to Annie
Ernaux.
Fosse’s style of
writing, known as ‘Fosse minimalism’, is popular among avid bibliophiles. The
64-year-old author is often compared with Samuel Beckett. Here are a few works
by the Nobel Laureate, who is “one of the most widely performed playwrights in
the world” according to the Nobel Prize committee. Happy reading!
