Atheist, Catholic, Nobel winner

It's really fascinating that a person can change so quickly. This is admirable especially when it's for the positive. Could this be the same person? Yes it could. It was Norwegian writer and dramatist Jon Fosse who was a lifetime atheist, until he converted to the Catholic religion. He had major problems with alcoholism and anxiety, but he found the true faith and became Catholic in 2012. He wrote poems, essays, plays, translations and even children’s books. After his conversion he also wrote about his relationship with God, as well as prayer. Jon Fosse was awarded the Nobel prize for Literature in 2023.
