Cheated twice, he returns to his boat, where he falls asleep as waves rock the hull. Soon he is awakened by a voice: a woman is calling his name from the quay. There stands Eline, the secret love of his youth—and the namesake of his boat—with a packed suitcase. Eline pleads to come aboard. In what follows, this single encounter reverberates across three stories: three narrators, three deaths.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe first new work from Jon Fosse since he was awarded the 2023 Nobel Prize in Literature, \u003ci\u003eVaim\u003c\/i\u003e is a spectral novel that wanders and watches, imbued with things half-seen, perhaps not of this world yet still caught in its rhythms.
