Context

About
About his contribution:
- Fosse was awarded the Nobel laureate award “for his innovative plays and prose which give voice to the unsayable."
- Known as "new Norwegian" and used by only about 10% of the country's population, Fosse's version of the language was developed in the 19th century with rural dialects at its base, making it an alternative to the dominant use of Danish that followed from a 400-year union with Denmark.
- In addition to more than two dozen plays, the prolific writer has also published novels, essays, collections of poetry and a string of children's books over a period of four decades.
|
His work has been translatedinto more than 40 languages, and there have been more than 1,000 different productions of his plays. |
