Narrator by Bragi Olafsson
A thirty-something aspiring writer, G., encounters a former romantic rival at the post office, a man he once wished didn't exist. On a whim, G. begins trailing the man throughout Reykjavik. What starts as an amusing tale of cat and mouse turns into a complex, introspective journey of a man struggling to complete the unfinished narrative of his own life.Bragi ü¾Œ¶¼lafsson is the author of several books of poetry and short stories, and four novels, including Time Off, which was nominated for the Icelandic Literature Prize in 1999 (as was The Pets), and Party Games, for which Bragi received the DV Cultural Prize in 2004. The Ambassador, available from Open Letter, was a finalist for the 2008 Nordic Literature Prize and received the Icelandic Bookseller's Award as best novel of the year. Bragi is one of the founders of the publishing company Smekkleysa (Bad Taste), and has translated Paul Auster's City of Glass into Icelandic. He is also a former bass player with The Sugarcubes, the internationally successful pop group that featured Bjü¾˜¶˜¼rk as the lead vocalist.
Janice Balfour studied literature and Italian at the University of Iceland. In addition to Bragi ü¾Œ¶¼lafsson, she has translated two collections of short stories by Gydir Elü¾™†”¼asson.
