'Fosse's fusing of the commonplace and the existential, together with his dramatic forays into the past, make for a relentlessly consuming work: already Septology feels momentous.' - Catherine Taylor, Guardian 'The reader of I is Another is both on the riverbank and in the water being carried forward, and around, by the great, shaping, and completely engrossing, flow of Fosse's words. It's a doubleness of view that is reflected in the characters, named Asle, who are both one and other, and through which we can see and feel the world, and ourselves, more clearly.' - David Hayden, author of Darker with the Lights On 'Jon Fosse is a major European writer.' - Karl Ove Knausgaard, author of My Struggle
