Portrait via Wikipedia

The third of the three volumes of Jon Fosse's "Septology", translated from the Norwegian by Damion Searls. Asle, an ageing painter and widower on the west coast of Norway, looks back on his life, while in nearby Bergen lives another Asle, also a painter, who may be another version of himself. The whole work unfolds as a single flowing sentence.
