Norwegian playwright Jon Fosse has been awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in literature for his innovative plays and prose that give voice to the unsayable. Although not widely known outside of Norway, Fosse is highly regarded in literary circles and has been called "the most produced living playwright." His extensive body of work includes plays, novels, poetry collections, essays, children's books, and translations. Fosse has been compared to literary giants such as Henrik Ibsen and Samuel Beckett. The Nobel Committee has faced criticism for its lack of diversity in recent years.
