Title : Besides, fish don't have feet - Jón Kalman Stefánsson - book
"Was this what he had just experienced at sea, was this why he was only really seeing Margrét now? He struggled so much to tear his eyes away from her that he cut his left hand with the knife. A deep cut. The blood stained the blade before dripping onto the fish. He raised his head towards Margrét. They looked straight into each other's eyes, blood flowing, it was September, the mountains dotted with gashes had turned white overnight, the veil of snow covering them was so light that it could not soften the sharp edges and their black anger." Across three generations, the portrait of a wild, harsh, and nostalgic Iceland emerges. We meet Ari, a publisher exiled in Denmark, and the painful memory of his mother; his grandfather Oddur, a courageous captain, but also his grandmother Margrét, with her rare sensuality. At the crossroads of madness and eroticism, Jón Kalman Stefánsson's pen captures us, with simplicity, in all its beauty.
