Author, dramatist, and poet Jon Fosse of Norway won the 2023 Nobel Prize in Literature “for his innovative plays and prose which give voice to the unsayable.” This esteemed award honors Fosse’s exceptional literary accomplishments, which are marked by a thorough exploration of fundamental human emotions and a stark simplicity.
