Asle is an aging painter and widower who lives alone on the west coast of Norway. His only friends are his neighbor, Asleik, a traditional fisherman-farmer, and Beyer, a gallerist who lives in the city. There, in Bjà¸rgvin, lives another Asle, also a painter but lonely and consumed by alcohol. Asle and Asle are doppelgaÌ^ngers"two versions of the same person, two versions of the same life. Written in melodious and hypnotic "slow prose,"Another Name is the final installment of Jon Fosse's Septology, "a major work of Scandinavian fiction"(Hari Kunzru) and an exquisite metaphysical novel about love, art, God, friendship, and the passage of time.
