What makes us who we are? And why…
Why read it?
1 author picked Septology as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Jon Fosse’s prose is incantatory. I’ve heard him once describe it as “mystical realism,” and in Septology, it reaches its pinnacle: the sublime becomes quotidian, and the quotidian becomes sublime.
I will return to it, I’m sure, as I get older and its pages reveal another, previously hidden portion of themselves to me.
