Details: The essential lecture delivered by the 2023 Nobel Laureate in Literature, published for the first time in a collectible edition.
"If there's any metaphor I would use for the act of writing, it would have to be listening," says Jon Fosse in A Silent Language, the lecture he delivered after being awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Literature. When he writes, Fosse explains, he listens for texts that exist somewhere outside of himself in order to transcribe them before they disappear. With reverence and humility, Fosse traces his relationship to writing and celebrates the capacity of language to embrace the mystery, complexity, and existential uncertainty of the human experience. "It is only in the silence that you can hear God's voice," he says, offering a key to his beloved works of drama and fiction. "Maybe."
