Jon Fosse
Jon Fosse was born in 1959 in Haugesund, Rogaland county, and grew up in Strandebarm, Hardanger (a traditional district in Vestland). He started writing when he was about twelve years old.  When he was a teenager, Fosse was interested in becoming a rock guitarist.  When he no longer thought he would be a rock star, he could spend more time writing.
