Description
Lars Hertervig's world unravels in this intense and lyrical novel. A young artist struggling with mental illness, he becomes fixated on his landlady's daughter, leading to a desperate situation that pushes him towards madness. As the events of one day spiral out of control, Hertervig finds himself trapped between two worlds: a cafe where he faces ridicule from his peers, and the apartment of the woman he loves. His inner turmoil culminates in a state of limbo, where reality becomes distorted and his grip on sanity falters. Published for the first time in English, Melancholy I-II is a major work by Jon Fosse, widely regarded as one of the most important writers of his generation.
