His first novel, Raudt, svart (Red, Black), was published in 1983, written in Nynorsk, one of the two written standards of the Norwegian language. His first play, Og aldri skal vi skiljast (And We Will Never Part), was staged and published in 1994. Fosse has written novels, short stories, poems, children’s books, essays, and plays. His works have been translated into more than forty languages.
