Cheated twice, he returns to his boat, where he falls asleep as waves rock the hull. Soon he is awakened by a voice: a woman is calling his name from the quay. There stands Eline, the secret love of his youth--and the namesake of his boat--with a packed suitcase. Eline pleads to come aboard. In what follows, this single encounter reverberates across three stories: three narrators, three deaths.The first new work from Jon Fosse since he was awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Literature, \u003ci\u003eVaim\u003c\/i\u003e is a spectral novel that wanders and watches, imbued with things half-seen, perhaps not of this world yet still caught in its rhythms. The first in a trilogy of novels, it continues his investigation into the human condition: the subtle encounters that come to define our lives and our deaths, and what lies in the threshold between what is and what is longed for.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jon Fosse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Transit Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10\/7\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.62 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8\" H x 5.3\" L x 0.8\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9798893380217\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Kotton Kandy Skies","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51863377543467,"sku":"9798893380217","price":25.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0962\/2978\/5899\/files\/9798893380217.jpg?v=1774774018","url":"https:\/\/2trc11-eq.myshopify.com\/products\/vaim-jon-fosse-hardcover","provider":"Kotton Kandy Skies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
