A Groping
Financial Times today informs us that the new 48-page novel by
Nobel Lit Prize winner Jon Fosse, with title translated as
"A Shining," will be published not on Halloween, as previously
reported here, but instead on the next day, All Hallows. Good.
The novel's original title, in Norwegian, is Kvitleik .
The Web indicates that this means "White Game."
See as well yesterday's post "Void Game." A relevant quote —
"By groping toward the light we are made to realize
how deep the darkness is around us."
— Arthur Koestler, The Call Girls: A Tragi-Comedy ,
Random House, 1973, page 118
