About this listen

Winner of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Literature

One of Jon Fosse’s most acclaimed novels, Boathouse is told from the perspective of an unnamed narrator leading a largely hermit-like existence until he unexpectedly encounters a long-lost childhood friend and his wife. Told partially in a stream-of-consciousness style and with an atmosphere reminiscent of a gripping crime novel, Boathouse slowly unravels the story of a love triangle leading to jealousy, betrayal, and eventually death.

Excellent

Jon Fosse is not for everyone but I quite like his work. Kare Conradi did a superb job with this title. In fact, I'd say he does a better job with Fosse than any other narrator I've heard do him. I really wish they would have hired him to do the Septology titles as the narrator they chose for that is dreadful.

Listen to the sample. If you can't imagine listening to 4 and a half hours of that kind or repetition, skip this title, and Fosse altogether. But if that "maximalist minimal" style agrees with you, this is an excellent entry point. Much better than A Shining, imo.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
