Morning and Evening (Nynorsk: Morgon og kveld) is a 2000 novella by the Norwegian writer Jon Fosse.
It was the basis for the 2015 opera Morgen und Abend with music by Georg Friedrich Haas.
[1] Ole Karlsen of Dag og Tid noted how Fosse had moved on from his early works, where he merely described problems related to gaps between language and reality, to actively trying to heal the problems he identified.
"[2] Publishers Weekly wrote: "Indeed, the moments throughout the novel are simple, quotidian, yet Fosse's pared down, circuitous, and rhythmic prose skillfully guides readers through past and present.
In this short, gripping novel, Fosse composes a hypnotic meditation on life and death.
