Someone is Coming: Selected Plays by John Fother (nine Volumes)
About This Novel
"I sit, listen, and write everything I hear." Sound is the key to unlocking the "Fosse Universe". The sea, the rain, the undercurrent or the still water in the deep heart, the words that recur and change, the long or short stillness, everything is built according to the sound, and flows in response to the sound. Nine stories, nine parallel lives. The guitar man who sings day after day in the subway, the "man" and "woman" who meet by chance in the church cemetery in autumn, the "him" and "she" who are far away from the city and do not expect anyone to come, the husband who has not returned from a summer sea trip and the wife who is entangled in memories... Each and every nameless person, with few hints of personality or background, only a few sketches, we describe their faces in our imagination and listen to their life experiences. We discovered that the stories played out in "Fosse Universe" are the lives of every ordinary person, including ourselves. The loneliness of being helpless, the frustration of not being able to communicate, the irreparable loss of the love of the heart... The joys, sorrows and joys of life are all concentrated in Fosse's concise language that contains great emotional tension. Between the lines is his infinite compassion for all of us who meet in the wasteland of time.
