Jon Fosse’s life story is an unusual one, and in particular his career as a dramatist, which is a profession that he entered almost against his own will. For the young Fosse, theater seemed to be more about affectation than about art and he had no interest in entering the world of theater. The director Kai Johnsen tried several times to get Fosse to write a play. He had read Fosse’s novels and was certain that Fosse was a playwright, but Fosse adamantly declined. Still, in 1993, some ten years after Fosse was first published, he wrote a play for the first time. What made him yield? Fosse needed the money: he was broke. He wrote dialogue for the first time, the beginning of Someone is Going to Come , and found it remarkably easy. Fosse has described writing a play for the first time as “the biggest revelation in my writing career.” Teaterstykke 2. –Oslo :Samlaget, 2001 [Einsommars dag ;Draumomhausten; Medan lyset går nedogalt blir svart ;Besøk; Sov duveslebarnet mitt ; Vinter ;Ettermiddag] Oh, yes.

Although I started out as a poet and novelist, my breakthrough came when I started writing plays. For 15 years, I basically only wrote for the theater. It was a huge surprise to me, and, in the beginning, a bit of an adventure. I wrote plays mainly during the summer. The rest of the year, I spent a lot of time traveling to theaters abroad, giving interviews, etc. Willis, Paul (12 September 2008). "As Few Words as Possible Sarah Cameron Sunde on Jon Fosse".
