00:00
An award for innovative plays and prose that give voice to the unsayable.
00:04
Jan Fosse has won this year's Nobel Prize in Literature.
00:08
At 64, the author is one of Norway's most accomplished playwrights
00:11
and has been waiting for this moment for the last 10 years.
00:14
He has written some 40 plays as well as novels and short stories.
00:18
I've just spoken to Jan Fosse on the phone.
00:22
He was driving on the countryside at Sognefjord, north of Bergen in Norway.
00:28
And we had the opportunity to start speaking about practical matters
00:34
and the Nobel Week in December.
00:37
No, it's not that overwhelming.
00:40
It was unexpected, I can say.
00:43
Even though I've been in discussions since 2013,
00:49
I've kind of realized that it could happen.
00:54
But it's been nine years, and there's been a lot of fuss about it.
01:00
And there hasn't been any prize, so I didn't think there would be any this year either.
01:04
Jan Fosse's work is similar to that of Czech author Franz Kafka,
01:07
but with everyday life situations.
01:09
He has written over 40 plays as well as novels and short stories.
