Description
Under the Glacier by Halldor Laxness is a novel that defies easy categorisation. A young man is sent to investigate a small town that has lost its faith, only to discover a community that is both earthly and otherworldly. The church lies boarded up, while the errant pastor lives with a woman who is not his wife, and a corpse has been lodged in the glacier. As he delves deeper into the town's secrets, Laxness weaves together humour, mystery, and the supernatural to create a surprising and moving narrative. This novel is a testament to the author's unique voice and vision, which have earned him international recognition. With an introduction by Susan Sontag, this edition of Under the Glacier offers a fresh perspective on a work that continues to fascinate readers with its complexity and depth.
