Jatgeir has come from Vaim to the big city, Bjorgvin, on his wooden boat, Eline, named after the long-lost love of his teenage years. He�intends�to buy a needle and thread to sew a button but he is cheated, twice. That night, while sleeping on his boat, he hears a familiar voice: unexpectedly, it is Eline, who wants to come home to Vaim with him. She leaves a note for her husband Frank, packs her bags and runs away while he is out fishing.�Vaim, Jon Fosse's first novel since he received the 2023 Nobel Prize in Literature, is the story of this triangle, a novel about little boats and big boats, love and death, passive men and an�incredibly�determined woman. And all, of course, was strange.� Show more
