Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature for 2023

One of Jon Fosse’s most acclaimed novels, Boathouse features an unnamed narrator who leads a hermit-like existence until he unexpectedly encounters a long-lost childhood friend and his wife. Part stream-of-consciousness metafictive exercise, part gripping crime novel, Boathouse slowly unravels the story of a love triangle to reveal a tale of jealousy and betrayal.
