Killian’s People (2004)
Colourful tales of the entrepreneurs and motley crew that make up Killian’s family, and the noble goals and petty dreams of these nouveaux riches yet perennially broke people, painting a portrait that sharply reflect the history of Iceland in recent years.
Previously published as two novels, Heimskra manna ráð and Kvikasilfur.
Reviews
Karason’s most prominent stylistic trait is his feeling for different voices.
