Andvake (lit. "Insomnia") is a 2007 novella by Norwegian writer Jon Fosse.

The story is set a few hundred years ago. The young couple, "Asle" and "Alvida", has come to the city of Bjørgvin, looking for a place to stay. She is expecting a child in a couple of days. Alida is an outcast, her own mother will not recognize her, and Asle is orphaned. Now they only have each other. A parallell can be drawn to the fate of the Evangelical Joseph and Mary.[1]

Awards

In 2015, Fosse was awarded the Nordic Council's Literature Prize for the trilogy Andvake, Olavs draumar and Kveldsvævd.[2][3]
