Description
A man starts driving without knowing where he is going. He alternates between turning right and left, and ultimately finds himself stuck at the end of a forest road. It soon grows dark and begins to snow. But instead of searching for help, he ventures, foolishly, into the dark forest. Inevitably, the man gets lost, and as he grows cold and tired, he encounters a glowing being amid the obscurity. Strange, haunting and dreamlike, A Shining is the latest work of fiction by National Book Award-finalist Jon Fosse, "the Beckett of the twenty-first century" (Le Monde).

“And it‘s dark, so dark and black that I can’t see anything, and it’s big, the forest is so big that I can’t find a way out of it and it’s so dark and black that I can’t see anything…“
Mit einem Wort zu beschrieben: Beautiful. So verstörend, wunderschön und offenbarend zu gleich. Poetisch verfasst, gefangen in den Kreisen der eigenen Gedanken, dass man meine könnte man sei derjenigen selbst, der sich im Wald verwirrt hat. Ein Werk über Einsamkeit, Verzweiflung, Hoffnung und einem Interpretationsspielraum, den man nicht anfassen vermag.
