�Un heredero leg�timo de Kafka, de Beckett y de Thomas Bernhard, un m�stico que provoca adicci�n y uno de los grandes escritores vivos. No se lo pierdan�.
Javier Cercas

A bordo de su barco Eline, Jatgeir llega a Bj�rgvin desde Vaim, la peque�a ciudad donde vive. Necesita comprar hilo y aguja para coser un bot�n, pero en las tiendas le piden un precio exorbitante y es doblemente estafado. Antes de volver a casa con las manos vac�as, fondea en una aldea de pescadores para dormir en su barco, pero una voz familiar lo despierta en medio de la noche: es Eline, su gran amor de juventud, que ha dejado a su marido, Frank, y quiere regresar a Vaim con �l.

Vaim es la primera novela escrita por Fosse despu�s de haber recibido el Premio Nobel de Literatura en 2023, y tambi�n el primer volumen de un tr�ptico sobre la ciudad ficticia de Vaim. Es una novela de amor, muerte y tri�ngulos amorosos en continuo movimiento, de barcos pesqueros y de hombres que aceptan las reglas que impone una mujer due�a de una fuerte y rara determinaci�n.

La cr�tica ha dicho:
�Vaim es, sobre todo, un alivio. Saturados de datos, atrapados en una �poca capaz de parir t�rminos como infobesidad o infoxicaci�n, nos propone un ritmo distinto, una sencillez analg�sica que, adem�s (y sobre todo),apunta a una profundidad muy aut�ntica, no exenta de sentido del humor y ternura�.
�ngel Pe�a, The Objective

�El noruego regresa a sus coordenadas habituales con una trama m�nima, que encierra en la cadencia de una prosa r�tmica sus grandes temas: lo sobrenatural, la p�rdida y la memoria�.
Marta Reb�n, La lectura, El Mundo

�Escribe desde su Noruega natal y, sin embargo, lo que emerge de sus p�ginas nos concierne a todos. En su literatura lo �ntimo acaba revel�ndose como verdad compartida y perdurable�.
Alicia Nila Mart�nez D�az, The Conversation

�Determinismo y libertad libran su lucha a lo largo de Vaim, un libro sabio y lleno de belleza. La reflexi�n y la acci�n van de la mano para interrogarnos en profundidad sobre la condici�n humana�.
Ernesto Calabuig, El Cultural, El Espa�ol

�Vaim es tanextra�o y sorprendente como la vida misma, alej�ndose de cualquier rumbo previsible�.
Bekah Waalkes, Financial Times

�Vaim es un texto delicioso, sereno, hecho de silencio y madurez. No hay frialdad a pesar de la belleza g�lida de los paisajes descritos�.
Publishers Weekly

�Fosse nos sumerge como por ensalmo en un mundo en el que prima el desasosiego, con una prosa que hace de la letan�a un arte mayor, y cuyo martilleo esconde un vac�osilencioso y amenazante, el vac�o del esp�ritu de nuestro tiempo�.
Horacio Castellanos Moya

�Si por algo hay que leer Vaim es por el capital cultural con el que nos enriquece como lectores. [...] Es una novela que cumple muchos de los requisitos que conforman un futuro cl�sico�.
Bernardo Munuera Montero, Zenda

�La obra de Fossees un enigma que da vida y esperanza a quien la lee. Ilumina el alma humana como solo lo hacen los elegidos�.
Manuel Vilas

�Jon Fosse es uno de los escritores europeos m�s importantes�.
Karl Ove Knausg�rd
