Hello
Gentle Reader
Thank-you
to World Literature Forum, for informing me of this year’s Nordic Council Prize
for Literature. Without the mention of this year’s prize winner; by any
newspaper or online source, the prize winner may have simply passed by without
any knowledge on my part. This year’s winner of the Nordic Council Prize for
Literature is the Norwegian playwright, poet and prose writer: Jon Fosse, for
his work: “Andvake, Olavs draumar and Kveldsvævd,” also known as “The Trilogy.”
Jon
Fosse is a recognisable face for many as he is a continual contender for the Nobel
Prize for Literature. Jon Fosse is considered the heir of Ibsen in drama, but
also a fellow playwright in the lines of Samuel Beckett, Eugene Ionesco, and
Harold Pinter. His plays are known for their sparse almost poetic sense to
them, which overflow’s into his prose, with its minimalist and stream of consciousness
style. Fosse is considered one of the greatest practitioners of dramatic writing
currently on display on the world stage. His plays have been performed all over
the world, and have been beloved throughout Europe.
Congratulations
to Jon Fosse for winning this year’s Nordic Council’s Prize for Literature!
