Morning and Evening is a beautiful story of a man named Johannes, of young Johannes, just born and old, reminiscing about his life. These two are probably the same person (but we cannot be completely sure).
Fosse, with his sparse prose and simple everyday moments, tells the life story of Johannes. It's a quiet story, but yet so impactful.
I love Fosse's writing - it's sparse and poetic, and the use of repetition is surprisingly good. This novel, despite the writing, works wonderfully as an audiobook, too. The narrator, Kåre Conradi, did an excellent job reading this.
