Out of the Blue, ed. Helen Mitsios, 2017 |
Short Stories | A groundbreaking collection of short fiction from Iceland’s best contemporary authors. This extraordinary collection, the first anthology of Icelandic short fiction published in English translation, features work by twenty of Iceland’s most popular and celebrated living authors—including Andri Snær Magnason, Jón Kalman Stefánsson, Kristín Ómarsdóttir, and Auður Jónsdóttir. These writers traverse realms of darkness and light that will be familiar to readers who have fallen under the spell of Icelandic fiction. The stories traffic in the enduring and universal complexities of human nature, a fictional universe where the ghosts of Vikings and spirits tread, volcanoes grumble underfoot, and writers trip the Northern Lights fantastic across the landscape of the Icelandic imagination.
