Norwegian author Jon Fosse has been awarded with the Nobel Prize 2023 for Literature on Thursday. According to the official X account, Jon Fosse has been honoured “for his innovative plays and prose which give voice to the unsayable.”The tweet reads, “This years literature laureate Jon Fosse writes novels heavily pared down to a style that has come to be known as Fosse minimalism. This can be seen in his second novel Stengd gitar (1985), when Fosse presents us with a harrowing variation on one of his major themes, the critical moment of irresolution. A young mother leaves her flat to throw rubbish down the chute but locks herself out, with her baby still inside. Needing to go and seek help, she is unable to do so since she cannot abandon her child. While she finds herself, in Kafkaesque terms, before the law, the difference is clear: Fosse presents everyday situations that are instantly recognisable from our own lives.”BREAKING NEWSThe 2023 #NobelPrize in Literature is awarded to the Norwegian author Jon Fosse “for his innovative plays and prose which give voice to the unsayable.” pic.twitter.com/dhJgGUawMl— The Nobel Prize (@NobelPrize) October 5, 2023Jon Fosse presents everyday situations that are instantly recognisable in our own lives.
