Teater III: Sömn; Skuggor; Jag är vinden; Så var det; Stark vind; Inne i svarta skogen

Teaterstykke #3

by Jon Fosse, Mikaela Blomqvist (Förord), Marie Lundquist (Översättare)

Här är det mest ambitiösa urvalet av Fosses pjäser på svenska, sammanlagt 16 pjäser varav en publiceras för första gången på något språk. Alla översättningar har reviderats och anpassats till den norska utgåvan av Fosses Teaterstykke. Kritikern Mikaela Blomqvist har skrivit ett förord till utgåvan.

Det är kanske främst genom pjäserna som Fosse utarbetar sin säregna litterära stil. Många av pjäserna låter sig läsas som vore det en roman.

Band III innehåller: Sömn, Skuggor, Jag är vinden, Så var det, Stark vind och Inne i svarta skogen.

367 pages, Paperback

First published January 1, 2005
