Translated from the Norwegian by Damion Searls

2022 International Booker Prize, Finalist
2022 National Book Award, Finalist

Praise for Septology is overwhelming, as The Guardian says:

Fosse’s fusing of the commonplace and the existential, together with his dramatic forays into the past, make for a relentlessly consuming work: already Septology feels momentous.
