Synopsis

Winner of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Literature This is Jon Fosse’s critically acclaimed, luminous love story about Asle and Alida, two lovers trying to find their place in this world. Homeless and sleepless, they wander around Bergen in the rain, trying to make a life for themselves and the child they expect. Through a rich web of historical, cultural, and theological allusions, Fosse constructs a modern parable of injustice, resistance, crime, and redemption. Consisting of three novellas (Wakefulness, Olav’s Dreams, and Weariness), Trilogy is a haunting, mysterious, and poignant evocation of love, for which Fosse received The Nordic Council’s Prize for Literature in 2015.

Asle y Alida son los protagonistas, estamos ante una forma literaria que es una suma de varios géneros literarios como una fórmula exacta que da como resultado algo nuevo, si es que a estas alturas puede haber algo nuevo, que no nos recuerde un poco a esto y aquello. Mediante una narración que recuer......more

De lo mejorcito de este año, algo totalmente nuevo en cuanto a lenguaje estilo y contenido, lo cual se agradece, y mucho. Va de sorpresa en sorpresa, logra descolocarte, provocarte, emocionarte, que te posiciones, no dejarte indiferente (para mi el peor calificativo para un libro, es que no te remue......more

Goodreads review by Boris on October 06, 2023

Jon Fosse, now a Nobel Prize winner for 2023. His "Trilogy" novel is a mix of poetry, myth, folklore, and a modern novel that maintains its homogeneity from beginning to end. The story is nothing special; it's quite archetypal - about the end of innocence, the first sin, and its consequences. The wa......more
