Review:
"[Laxness’] voice has a very funny peculiar, refreshing and intriguing mix of comic irony and metaphysical angst" (Marina Warner Observer)

"Laxness is a poet who writes to the edges of the pages, a visionary who allows us a plot." (Daily Telegraph)

"An extraordinary book, brimming with little wisdoms, funny episodes, sharp phrases...and a determined optimism of spirit" (The Times)

"Laxness was a genius" (New York Review of Books)

"Magnus Magnusson's translation reads smoothly and skilfully renders Laxness's dry and quirky wit" (Times Literary Supplement)
Book Description:
'Laxness has been hailed as Iceland's John Steinbeck, Sinclair Lewis and Upton Sinclair combined. His is a significant voice in world literature' Magnus Magnusson
