Omschrijving
The highly-acclaimed novel by Iceland's internationally renowned writer Sjón - 'an extraordinary and original writer' A.S. Byatt - in a stunning new package.
'A terrific read...an extraordinarily accomplished novel'
'Kaleidoscopic and mesmerising, comic and poignant'
'An extraordinary and original writer'
Hallucinatory, lyrical and by turn comic and tragic-an extraordinary novel.
Sjón's novels are brilliant collisions of history and fable, psychology and fantasy.
Wildly comic and incandescent, elegant and brittle.
Born in Reykjavík in 1962, Sjón is the author of the novels The Blue Fox, The Whispering Muse, From the Mouth of the Whale, Moonstone and CoDex 1962, for which he has won several awards including the Nordic Council's Literature Prize and the Icelandic Literary Prize. He has also been shortlisted for the International IMPAC Dublin Literary Award and the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize, and his work has been translated into thirty-five languages. In addition, Sjón has written nine poetry collections as well as four opera librettos and lyrics for various artists. He lives in Reykjavík, Iceland. Victoria Cribb has translated over thirty-five books by Icelandic authors. Her translations of Moonstone and CoDex 1962 were both longlisted for the PEN America Translation Prize and in 2017 she received the Ordstír honorary translation award for services to Icelandic literature.
