I Is Another by Jon Fosse
A meditative midsection of a seven-part narrative follows an aging, widowed painter on Norway’s western coast as he tends to humble routines, deepens a wary friendship with a fisherman neighbor, and makes repeated trips to the city to check on another painter who shares his name and is unraveling from alcoholism. As Christmas nears, memories of his late wife and his religious conversion weave through his reflections on art and identity, probing the uncanny doubleness of self and the permeable boundary between solitude, love, and grace.
