Voices from the Radio Operator‘s House (2016)

“I began to suspect that my stories were perhaps of the kind silence cannot hide.”

A young man sets out to look for eleven halfbrothers and sisters, all born in the same year; a love-shy bookseller haunts and spies on new readers; two very different sisters run a kiosk in the centre of old Reykjavik while a bunch of down-and-outs drink themselves into a new and feathered existence.

A lonely radio operator communicates over the airwaves in between writing literary fiction. He becomes suspicious when other writers mysteriously pre-empt him in publishing his books. With the help of science he manages to turn defence into attack.
