The central character of this powerful novel is Eyvindur Jonsson Stormur, a clever, witty but self-deceptive man, who is surrounded by a motley crew of heavy drinkers, hippies, business men, losers and Icelandic students abroad. A brilliant rendering of the ideas and spirit of the times and an entertaining gallery of expressive characters and hilarious events.

“Certainly not everyone can tackle as big a theme
as revenge and get away with it as well as this.”
