Fosse\'s portrait of intersecting lives is that rare metaphysical novel that readers will find compulsively readable.-- Publishers Weekly, Starred Review i>I is Another follows the lives of two men living close to each other on the west coast of Norway.
What makes us who we are? And why do we lead one life and not another?.
I is Another calls into question concrete notions around subjectivity and the self.
He and the narrator are doppelgangers--two versions of the same person, two versions of the same life.
There, in Bj rgvin, lives another Asle, also a painter.
He lives alone, his only friends being his neighbor, sleik, a bachelor and traditional Norwegian fisherman-farmer, and Beyer, a gallerist who lives in Bj rgvin, a couple hours\' drive south of Dylgja, where he lives.
The year is coming to a close and Asle, an aging painter and widower, is reminiscing about his life.
