What makes us who we are? And why do we lead one life and not another? Asle, an aging painter and widower who lives alone on the southwest coast of Norway, is reminiscing about his life. His only friends are his neighbor, A°sleik, a traditional fisherman-farmer, and Beyer, a gallerist who lives in the city. There, in Bjørgvin, lives another Asle, also a painter but lonely and consumed by alcohol. Asle and Asle are doppelga¨ngerstwo versions of the same person, two versions of the same life, both grappling with existential questions about death, love, light and shadow, faith and hopelessness.The three volumes of Jon Fosses SeptologyThe Other Name, I is Another, and A New Nameare a transcendent exploration of the human condition, and a radically other reading experienceincantatory, hypnotic, and utterly unique.
