The Author of Iceland

"Author of Iceland" is an original innovative novel that draws the reader into an incredible journey through the world and Icelandic culture of the last century.

Haldgrim Helgason created this book based on his dream, in which Nobel laureate Halldour Laxness (1902–1998), after death, ends up in his own novel "Independent People".

By placing the protagonist-narrator in such circumstances, the author raises questions about the relationship between a writer and his work, reality and artistic fiction, life and death.
