The Darkest Week of the Year: Fosse's Septology - The Paris Review
Briefly

"Septology follows Asle, an aging painter and widower living in Dylgja, on Norway's western coast, as he prepares for his annual Christmas exhibit in the nearby town Bjørgvin. Each volume starts with Asle contemplating a painting he's just painted, a blank canvas with two strokes forming a cross; each volume ends with Asle praying the rosary."
"Only this year he thinks he might accept Åsleik's invitation to Christmas dinner at Sister's. He spends the seven days, over the seven volumes leading up to Christmas day, deciding."
