Sleep My Love (2016)

Unique voice of Icelandic literature Stories of love, loss and death

A dodgy childhood friend and a Tyrannosaurus Rex, a trapped bee in the highlands of Iceland, a desperate search for a new word for love, Duran Duran, birdsong, titillating romantic rendezvous in strange hotels … all this and much more in several short stories by Andri Snaer Magnason that come from different angles but share a strong sense of love and time.

In 1996 Andri Snaer published a very popular collection of short stories, and here we have a new collection by this unique voice of Icelandic literature.
