Jon Fosse wins Nobel Prize for Literature

Norwegian writer and playwright Jan Fosse has won the Nobel Prize for Literature this year.

The Swedish Academy in Stockholm has praised its innovative drama and prose and said the author gave voice to the unuttered.

His works have been translated into many languages of the world.

Jon Fosse said it was “shocked and somewhat frightened” that won this prestigious award.

This price is worth about $1 million.

The Swedish Academy said that Fosse, born in 1959 in Haugesund on the western coast of Norway, has created in many literary sands, including novels, collections of poetry, essays, children's books and translations.

He's become known as a playwright with the “Nokon kjem til é com” (Then he will be brought to his senses).

Fossse, 64-year-old who writes in the most unusual version of two official Norwegian versions, has said he considers the award to be recognition of the language he uses and movement to promote it, saying Nobel dedicates it to her own.

Known as the new “orgy” and used by about 10 percent of Norway's population, the version used by Fosse was created in the 19th century in rural areas, making it an alternative to Danish language that has been used during a 400-year union with Denmark.
