The other name -- III-V. I is another -- VI-VII. A new name. 520 $a What makes us who we are? And why do we lead one life and not another? Asle, an aging painter and widower who lives alone on the southwest coast of Norway, is reminiscing about his life. His only friends are his neighbor, AÌsleik, a traditional fisherman-farmer, and Beyer, a gallerist who lives in the city. There, in Bjørgvin, lives another Asle, also a painter but lonely and consumed by alcohol. Asle and Asle are doppelgaÌngers--two versions of the same person, two versions of the same life, both grappling with existential questions about death, love, light and shadow, faith and hopelessness. The three volumes of Jon Fosse's Septology--The Other Name, I is Another, and A New Name--collected here for the first time, are a transcendent exploration of the human condition, and a radically other reading experience--incantatory, hypnotic, and utterly unique. 650 0 $a Older men $z Norway $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Painters $v Fiction. $9 88782 650 0 $a Widowers $v Fiction. $9 87366 650 0 $a DoppelgaÌngers $v Fiction. 650 0 $a Identity (Philosophical concept) $v Fiction. $9 96247 650 0 $a Loneliness $v Fiction. $9 85290 651 0 $a Norway $v Fiction. $9 85098 655 7 $a Experimental fiction. $2 lcgft $9 89461 655 7 $a Philosophical fiction. $2 lcgft 700 1 $a Searls, Damion $e translator. $9 144105 941 $a 4 952 $l ALPE516 $d 20240417020747.0 952 $l GBPF771 $d 20240104012047.0 952 $l UNUX074 $d 20240103011046.0 952 $l BAPH771 $d 20231010010733.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7E3FBDA0673211EEBF3E118F48ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOUInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
