Icelandic Fiction

Fiction in abundance! Since the Saga era Icelanders seem to have a knack for writing and telling stories and each year a staggering number of original titles are published...or 5 books every day on average! That is not bad for a population the size of Coventry or Pittsburgh...

From the world renowned masterpieces of Nobel Prize Laureate Halldór Laxness to the chilling murder mysteries of our Nordic Noir gang of Arnaldur, Yrsa, Ragnar and other successfully translated writers. Take a pick!
