The latest novel by Jon Fosse, the 2023 Nobel Prize in Literature laureate, Vaim is a book about little boats and big boats, love and death, passive men and an incredibly determined woman.
Jatgeir has come from Vaim to the big city, Bjørgvin, on his wooden boat, Eline, named after the long-lost love of his teenage years.

And all, of course, was strange...
