“Jon Fosse, the Norwegian Nobelist, writes in an interestingly elliptical style. Kåre Conradi gives a controlled performance that conveys the protagonist’s hesitation, confusion, and flashes of passion that are sometimes, but not always, suppressed. He brings a difficult man, and a difficult story, vividly to life.” – Audiofile Magazine

One of Jon Fosse’s most acclaimed novels, Boathouse is told from the perspective of an unnamed narrator leading a largely hermit-like existence until he unexpectedly encounters a long-lost childhood friend and his wife. Told partially in a stream-of-consciousness style and with an atmosphere reminiscent of a gripping crime novel, Boathouse slowly unravels the story of a love triangle leading to jealousy, betrayal, and eventually death.
