Very Very Slowly

Uendeleg seint

In Jon Fosse’s first children’s book, a young boy grapples with the guilt of having stolen a banana from an old woman.

The book explores themes of guilt, honesty, and the complexity of parent-child relationships. Using his characteristic rhythm and repetition, this book will speak to children and adults alike.
