Écrire, c'est écouter

"I have the feeling, when I write, that I have a secret place, hidden deep inside me. I write from this hidden place."

To capture the simple, existential beauty of Jon Fosse's writing, this volume features three interviews with Gabriel Dufay, conducted between 2012 and 2023, in Oslo, at the Kaffistova Café, Knut Hamsun's café, and in Bergen. These unique exchanges weave together an artistic friendship spanning more than ten years, and reveal the powerful voices and creative influences that underpin Jon Fosse's universe, and his ever-sensitive relationship with writers and time. These vibrant remarks are peppered with previously unpublished works, poems and a miniature piece, Vivre dans le secret.

An invitation to plunge into his work, to listen to the forces of the spirit.
