Book
Vaim / Jon Fosse ; translated from the Norwegian by Damion Searls.
Vaim begins a trilogy of novels set in a remote Norwegian fishing village. Jatgeir travels from the fishing village of Vaim to the city in search of a needle and thread. Cheated twice, he returns to his boat, where he falls asleep as waves rock the hull. Soon he is awakened by a voice: a woman is calling his name from the quay. There stands Eline, the secret love of his youth -- and the namesake of his boat -- with a packed suitcase. Eline pleads to come aboard. In what follows, this single encounter reverberates across three stories: three narrators, three deaths.
