In nearby Bjorgvin another Asle, also a painter, is lying in the hospital, consumed by alcoholism. Asle and Asle are doppelgangers - two versions of the same person, two versions of the same life, both grappling with existential questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn this final instalment of Jon Fosse's Septology, the major prose work by 'the Beckett of the twenty-first century' (Le Monde), we follow the lives of the two Asles as younger adults in flashbacks: the narrator meets his lifelong love, Ales; joins the Catholic Church; and makes a living by trying to paint away all the pictures stuck in his mind. A New Name: Septology VI-VII is a transcendent exploration of the human condition, and a radically other reading experience - incantatory, hypnotic, and utterly unique.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fosse, Jon, Searls, Damion","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42465901478072,"sku":"9781913097721","price":12.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0509\/1953\/8872\/files\/9781913097721.jpg?v=1734731497","url":"https:\/\/octoberbooks.org\/products\/9781913097721","provider":"October Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
