Review title: Outstanding!
Product review: Halldor Laxness's novels never fail to amaze me. As one reviewer has said, I believe he's arguably the John Steinbeck of Iceland. His works convey an atmosphere, setting, society, and culture that is like nothing else in the literature that most Westerners are familiar with. Whenever I want to take a break from reading novels by the most well-known and widely read authors of world literature (such as Dickens, Austen, Twain, etc.), I delve into the world of Halldor Laxness. I wish this author's status as a modern pioneer of contemporary literature was more acknowledged and recognized in the U.S. Just like Iceland's sagas, Halldor's Laxness are works to be treasured for its novel originality, fresh insight on common themes, and distinct style and literary beauty. On my list this is my 3rd most favorite Halldor Laxness novel (#1 is World Light, #2 is Independent People). Buy it, borrow it, read it, enjoy.
