Celebrating Halldor Laxness: 122 Years of Literary Legacy and New Beginnings

Today, April 23, marks 122 years since the birth of Halldor Laxness and today, the Reykjavik Literary Agency (RLA) officially takes over the management of the Nobel laureate's works internationally, which for nearly half a century was handled by the Danish agency Licht & Licht, later Licht & Burr, in Copenhagen. There is significant interest in Halldór Laxness's works around the world. RLA's role will be to ensure this continues and that the poet's name is promoted abroad.
