Mañana Y Tarde - by Jon Fosse (Paperback)

About the Book

"A boy is born who will be called Johannes. An old man named Johannes dies. Between these two points, Jon Fosse gives us the details of an entire life, crudely compressed. Beginning with the thoughts of Johannes' father as his wife goes into labor, and ending with Johannes' own thoughts as he embarks on a day in his life in which everything is exactly the same, but totally different, Morning and Evening is a works on the beautiful dream that our lives have meaning. The moments throughout the novel are simple, everyday, but Fosse's rhythmic, winding, clipped prose deftly guides readers through the past and present."--Publisher description.
