How does Jon Fosse use repetition in his writing?

Answered in Jon Fosse's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

Repetition is a way to listen. It is not about saying the same thing over and over, but about letting a word or a phrase become something else with each return. Like waves on a shore, they are the same, and yet they are different. This circling, this returning, it allows for a deeper feeling to emerge, a stillness in the rhythm. In *Septology*, this process is very present, the stories unfolding through these recurring patterns. It is a way to move slowly, to feel the weight of each word, to let the silence speak around it.
