Reviews

FIVE STARS OUT OF FIVE POSSIBLE “Olafur Gunnarsson is a great virtuoso … If I were in the habit of giving stars, I would give Potter’s Field a few constellations.”

Helgarposturinn Weekly

“If we were still in the habit of wearing hats, I would take my hat off to Potter's Field. But since hats are no longer the rage, I must make do with a deep bow.”

Dagur-Timinn newspaper

“The novel is written with a wonderful feel for the absurd and grotesque that underlies human actions and aspirations. I couldn't put the book down until I had finished it.”

Vigdis Finnbogadottir, President of Iceland 1980-1996
