Fosse is the first Norwegian Nynorsk author to receive the Nobel Prize in Literature. – I am overwhelmed and a little scared, says Fosse himself in a statement after the award. The last time a Norwegian received the award was in 1928, and the recipient was Sigrid Undset. – Fosse has come to be regarded as an innovator, not only in contemporary theatre, says Anders Olsson at the press conference after the award.
