Is Jon Fosse's work too minimalist?

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

Some may find the words few, the sentences spare. But there is a fullness in the emptiness, a richness in the quiet. When the words are chosen carefully, when they are placed in their right order, they can carry a great weight. It is not about filling the page, but about finding what is essential. Like a single note held long, it can resonate more deeply than a cascade of sounds. The silence, it is part of the music, part of the telling. It is what it is, the fullness that can be found in very little.
