Yess Fosse. Måtte lese litt av han etter Nobelprisen hans. Hadde lest en artikkel på pensum våren 2023 som snakket om hele handlingen i Triologien, så viste alerede hva som kom til å skje, men det gjorde ingenting. Fosse har en unik måte å skrive på, og man bør egentlig få lest han på nynorsk for å få best effekt. Litt slitsomt at han ikke har noe kapitler og så og si ingen puktum i boken, for da må man nesten lese hele "Andsvake", "Olavs draumar" og "Kveldsvævd" i en runde. Heldigvis er hver av disse bøkene så korte at det ikke er et problem, bare litt slitsomt hvis man bare skulle lese bittelitt.

The style of the narrative makes for an amazing flow that could be jarring for some. It dives in and out of scenes, dreams, memories, and visions completely seamlessly. Post reading it gives me strong associations of a family history while doing genealogy.
