Bookroo's summary

Asle, an aging painter in Norway, reflects on his life as he encounters his doppelganger, another Asle, living a parallel existence. Their intertwined lives raise profound questions about identity and the choices that define us. As the year ends, Asle's introspection deepens, exploring the mysteries of selfhood and the roads not traveled. What makes us who we are, and why do we live one life over another? This compelling narrative invites readers to ponder the nature of existence and the unseen threads connecting us all.

From the publisher

The lives of an aging painter and his doppelganger converge and diverge in an elegiac meditation on our unlived lives, in the second book of the celebrated Norwegian writer’s three-volumeSeptology.
