Iceland is not only Geysers, northern lights,
world cup or whale hunting! It´s literature also, a literary history that goes
back to the 11th century.
The journalist Dean Nelson wrote an article in New York
Times about the cultural life in Iceland:
“Standing in the dark outside the Reykjavik public library in the relentless damp chill that comes with a light rain at 40 degrees, I kept trying to zip up my jacket. The charcoal sky was a shade lighter than the inky ocean a few blocks away, but it was noon, not twilight. I had a few minutes to bundle up before an outdoor walking tour on literary Iceland began. As if on cue, the zipper snapped off in my hand.”
