The Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences revealed on Thursday Jon Fosse as the winner of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Literature “for his innovative plays and prose which give voice to the unsayable.”
“His immense oeuvre written in Norwegian Nynorsk and spanning a variety of genres consists of a wealth of plays, novels, poetry collections, essays, children’s books and translations. While he is today one of the most widely performed playwrights in the world, he has also become increasingly recognized for his prose,” the organization said.
“Fosse blends a rootiness in the language and nature of his Norwegian background with artistic techniques in the wake of modernism,” Chair of the Nobel Committee for Literature Anders Olsson noted. “He exposes human anxiety and ambivalence at his core,” he added.
