Scenes from a Childhood is the latest collection of stories by Jon
Fosse, one of Norway's most celebrated authors and playwrights, famed
for the minimalist and unsettling quality of his writing. In the title
work, a loosely autobiographical narrative covers infancy to awkward
adolescence, unearthing the moments of childhood that linger longest
in the imagination. In 'And Then My Dog Will Come Back To Me', a
haunting and dream-like novella, a dispute between neighbours
escalates to an inexorable climax. Taken from various sources, the
texts gathered here together for the first time demonstrate that the
short story is one of the recurrent modes of Fosse's imagination, and
occasions some of his greatest works.
