Taking place, like Melancholy, over the course of a singleday, we are treated to the thoughts of Hertervig’s sister Oline, carrying onwith her life in the absence of her beloved—if eccentric—brother. Sherecalls their childhood under a domineering father, recalls Hertervig’sdifficulties fitting in, and likewise Hertervig the man: poor, always hoveringon the brink, fanatical about painting and his own perceived shortcomings both asan artist and human being. In the same meticulous and hypnotic prose for whichFosse is famous, Melancholy II servesnot only as an investigation into the “collateral damage” of art, but into amaster’s tools and obsessions.
