Story — Narrative in numbers.
Full Details
Each paragraph of Norwegian author Berit Ellingsen’s narrative begins with a number:
0 is wholeness and emptiness at once. It is the crystal stars and the shivering path of the northern lights…
1 is a thin stream that trickles past birches and ferns. The mud makes it difficult to walk and easy to fight…
2 are the bulbous, multi-colored domes of the capital’s cathedral that are not yet covered in snow when he arrives…
3 are the lace curtains that lift in the summer breeze…
