This Couple Just Published a Nobel Winner

RICHMOND, Calif. — From the street, Adam and Ashley Nelson Levy’s house in the hills here above the San Francisco Bay looks like a house. When I visited last Friday afternoon, a team of workers was noisily applying new stucco to the exterior walls, but the driveway was just a driveway, the door a door. Could this really be the headquarters of Transit Books, the American publisher of Jon Fosse, the Norwegian novelist and playwright who won the Nobel Prize in literature the day before?
