By Jon Fosse, Review 5 of 2024
Morning and Evening is a beautifully translated novella that reflects on life and death through the lens of one man’s birth and final day. The narration of this collection was exceptional and an experience of its own. I’m not sure I would have been able to get through reading this on paper (challenging structure and themes), but I did become fully enthralled while listening. If you’re in the mood for an emotional journey, and have a willingness to explore the nature of life itself, I’d highly recommend this as an audiobook.
Thank you to the publisher, author, and NetGalley for this audiobook for review purposes.
