Strong and wonderful reviews for The Other Name. Septology I II in Norway

September 8 2019

While Norwegian press is praising Septology I II, foreign sales is going on.This masterly work is now sold to 9 languages, Fosse will be the first Norwegian author published by one of the most prestigious French publishing houses, the editor says: “Even from the very first pages of The Other Name, I immediately knew that what I held in my hands was not just a singular text, but a masterpiece. While this monumental work is remarkable enough in synthesizing Fosse’s entire oeuvre as a playwright and as a novelist, its true wonder is in how it serves both a mesmeric journey through the mind of an artist, and en exploration of existential depths. It is my great honour to publish him with Christian Bourgois Éditeur.”
