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.
Born in Haugesund, Norway, in 1959, Fosse started writing prolifically at an early age. With the publication of his first book, “Raudt, svart” (Red, Black), in 1983, he launched an incredible four-decade literary career.

His characters have a deep sense of humanity, despite their constant struggles with existential issues and unresolved emotions.
