What to expect

Jon Fosse said farewell to theory early in his career, choosing poetry, fiction, and drama as his mediums of choice. Here, however, in a selection from his two books of essays, we see just how incisive a critic and memoirist he can be. Not only including a generous portion of Fosse's writing on literature and theater—including the irresistible Thomas Bernhard and His Grandfather—this collection also includes such personal essays such as My Dear New Norwegian, Old Houses, and He Who Didn't Want to Become a Teacher.
