"Vaim Hotel" out in Norwegian

Vaim Hote is out in Norway! The second book in Jon Fosse’s Vaim trilogy has surprised and delighted reviewers here in Norway, and multiple foreign editions will already be coming out in the next few months.

“Are you ready for a refined dose of absurdist unease? Nobel Prize winner Jon Fosse turns up the paranoia in his new, distinctly unsettling novel. […] ‘Vaim Hotel’ contains dialogue and scenes reminiscent of Samuel Beckett, the master of the Theatre of the Absurd. […] What truly elevates the book is the wholly distinctive, pure resonance of its language.” -VG, ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Fosse brilliantly shows us what we once knew and have since forgotten. In scenes of everyday life, he is irresistible.” -NRK

“Like a finely built boat on calm seas, the prose of ’Vaim Hotel’ […] glides with ease. But beneath the surface, there are, of course, unexpected currents and moments of drama at play. The books in the Vaim universe are unmistakably Jon Fosse, yet they also strike new tones in his writing.” -Dag og Tid

“A surprising, slightly Kafkaesque novel in Fosse’s trilogy that unfolds in a mysterious village in western Norway.” -Adresseavisen
