Norwegian author Jon Fosse wins Nobel literature prize

 

The Norwegian novelist, poet and playwright Jon Fosse — who has found a growing audience in the English-speaking world for novels that grapple with themes of aging, mortality, love and art — was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature on Thursday, “for his innovative plays and prose which give voice to the unsayable.”

A prolific writer who has published some 40 plays, as well as novels, poetry, essays, children’s books and works of translation, Fosse has long been revered for his spare, transcendent language and formal experimentation.

And here I am working on ESL, a proverb at a time :-)

残雪继续努力

+100086！

Viva Norway! I know that James Joyce learned Norwegian to

read Henrik Ibsen whose works had already been translated to

Chinese around the May 4th Movement. Lu Xun was no stranger

to him, either. BTW, a Norwegian-American colleague of mine

says that Norwegian grammar is simple, with few tenses...

and word endings; the vocabulary is small; the language is one of the deep cores of English, so reading it feels eerily familiar, like a song you half know.

a genius.

向你的挪威同事祝贺。：）

秋兰有语言天赋。记得你好像也学过俄语？

文学天赋！

盈盈早安！学过俄语，可惜学不成，毕竟欠缺语言天份。这位文学诺奖新得主的作品，还未看过。他的同乡易卜生就比较熟悉一点。

秋兰早安！我知道易卜生的《玩偶之家》，娜拉的出走。。经典之作。。
