	Nordic Literature
		The theatre was far from the obvious choice, hardly a road that lay open to Jon Fosse when he made his debut as a dramatist in 1994 with Og aldri skal vi skiljast (And we'll never be parted) on Den Nationale Scene in Bergen.
		Fosse belonged nowhere, he wrote in a sort of absence which was both social aesthetic at once, as if he were speaking from another place, barely audibly and in defiance of a long line of the axioms we link with the theatre as a phenomenon.
		Fosse's anathema is only the latest in a succession of condemnations which have been aimed at the dubious virtue of theatre since it was born, focusing either on its moral or aesthetic character (this has varied according to times and customs).

	Cultural City Bergen 2000, Bergen Public Library - Jon Fosse
		Jon Fosse (born in 1959) belongs to the generation of writers that in the 1980's introduced post- modernism into Norway, in pronounced opposition to the socio-realistic tradition that was dominant in Norway in the 1970's.
		In Fosse's case, this new orientation didn't manifest itself--as in the case of some others of his generation--in a writing technique with inter-textual references or with passages of meta-reflection in his books.
		Fosse's books have a spare vocabulary and are rather marked by a form of religious austerity, of pietism.

		A fosse is a ditch, and the Fosse Way was so named because of the deep trench either side which it has still.
		Fosse, whose father worked in vaudeville, had his own professional dance act by the age of thirteen.
		Fosse developed a jazz dance style that was immediately recognizable, exuding a stylised, cynical sexuality.

	Festival theatre: Suite dreams - [Sunday Herald]
		Fosse speaks very good English (albeit with a pronounced accent), but he says he can read German moreÊeasily.ÊGermanÊactorsÊat Berlin's SchaubŸhne theatre have wondered aloud whether his plays will translate as well into English, so closely has he been taken to the hearts of Mitteleuropa.

	Knut Vaage \|\| Komponist -> Presseklipp
		Jon Fosse is a major figure in the modern literature of Norway.
		Knut Vaage, som også har utarbeidet librettoen i samråd med Jon Fosse, gjør nettopp det som fort kunne blitt platt: Han tonemaler og utbroderer både teksten og underteksten gjennom musikalske gester og klang, og sjenerer seg ikke for ganske tradisjonelle effekter - dramatisk banking, skumle gnissenede strykerflater, en mystisk klarinettone.
		Fosse treffer sikkert mange fordi han foregriper fremtidige tilstander vi bare aner: Uten cv og karriere skal vi en gang befinne oss nakne i Fosse-rom og snakke Fosse-språk i vår senilitet.

	[No title]
		Jon Fosse is perhaps most known as dramatist, and is regarded as one of the greatest as such since Ibsen.
		Focusing on Fosse’s work To forteljingar, Prosa frå ein oppvekst (Two stories, Prose from an adolescence) and some pieces from Eldre kortare prosa (Older shorter prose) the author tries to create a wordily perspective about this "something" in Fosse’s literature, which almost refuse explanation and language, and which makes his literature so absorbing and hypnotising.
		The works of Fosse considered are regarded as echoing the deconstuctionist view of writing as absence.

		Fosse and Kane are two of those who have caught Ostermeier’s attention with a spare, raw style.
		The 42-year-old Fosse came to theater after extended forays in essay and fiction, but now has 11 plays to his credit, including “Quelqu’un va venir” (1996), for which Fosse won the coveted Ibsen Prize and praise as a leader in new Norwegian theater.
		But it is precisely this complete letting go that is admirable in her work and that we have loved about her.” In his choices of Fosse and Kane, he also shows his commitment to continuing his work at the Baracke by giving tomorrow’s voices their place on stage today.

		I met Jon in the spring of 1998 at the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh where we were both international exchange playwrights.
		Jon Fosse: I am quite sure that growing up in a small Norwegian community by the Hardanger fjord, in the western part of Norway, has influenced my writing a lot.
		Fosse: No. I am writing from a place inside myself which is not so much influenced of success or failure.

	Melancholy by Jon Fosse « Book Review « ReadySteadyBook - a literary site
		From the blurb: ‘Melancholy takes us deep into a painter’s fragile consciousness, vulnerable to everything but therefore uniquely able to see its beauty and its light.’ Incredibly, Fosse is demanding the reader’s sympathy for his small-minded protagonist and asking us to see his imprisonment as martyrdom.
		Fosse’s sympathy for this tortured piss-artist is confirmed in the final section of the book, and spare a thought for your reviewer, who has got this far so that you don’t have to.
		In another impossible demand on the credulity of the reader, Fosse moves the narrative a hundred years on and reveals that Hertevig is now revered as a great artist.

		Fosse wrote the play, which centres on a young woman’s self-realisation as she moves into adulthood, specifically for the Edinburgh project.
		"Fosse’s a very hands off writer himself", he explains, "so it would feel a bit strange for me to be in rehearsals as Jon’s representative in English.
		Given that Fosse’s work has such an abstract quality, is there a particular significance in the central character being female, or could she function almost as a motif for humanity as a whole?

		With reflection, references to playwright Jon Fosse as “the new Ibsen” are not as shallow as they seemed when I first heard them.
		Fosse’s modulating repetitions of what is essentially the same phrase require a formal freedom in order to attain a life of their own.
		It’s a genuine innovation, and Jon Fosse’s arrival on these shores is an exciting development for the theater.

		Fosse creates an environment where the slightest tender expression is swathed in awkwardness and self-consciousness, while love and fidelity are colored in shades of grey.
		The tone set by the designers is matched by the sweetly sad, incompatible lovers and their broken contemporary dialogue.
		Fosse's use of language is rhythmic, metered and self-conscious.

	BAM : Brooklyn Academy of Music
		For the Norwegians to ask an American director to produce one of their national literary treasures seemed such an extraordinary gesture, especially in the context of the centennials of Ibsen's death and the celebrations for 100 years of Norwegian independence as a national state.
		It would have been a lack of respect to meddle with such an accomplished writer like Jon, writing in his native language, especially since I do not speak Norwegian.
		I took Jon's text and staged it the way I felt represented the structure of Peer's story.

		In the programme notes Jon Fosse says, "Theatre is always for you.......
		In taking Fosse's play and directing it so one is so conscious of the director's force and not the playwright's words, which at times were hard to hear and comprehend, snipped into as they were by dramatic tricks, Ostermeier is a fine example of director's theatre.
		But if you like a well balanced production, where each nuance of a beautiful, pared script is given light and drive by actors allowed to be, rather than animated puppets, this production will probably not be for you.
