Sjón was born in Reykjavik in 1962. He is an award-winning novelist, poet, and playwright, and his novels have been translated into twenty-five languages. Sjón is the president of the Icelandic PEN Centre and the chairman of the board of Reykjavik UNESCO City of Literature. Also a lyricist, he has written songs for Björk, including for her most recent project, Biophilia, and was nominated for an Oscar for the lyrics he co-wrote (with Lars von Trier) for Dancer in the Dark. He lives in Reykjavik. The Icelandic writer Sjón, whose international breakthrough came with his novel The Blue Fox, is a renaissance man. Sjón started his career as a poet at age 15, and took part in Reykjavik’s cultural explosion in the 1980s when “there was no hierarchy in the arts.” Sjón’s inspiration has always come from melding ancient Icelandic traditions with the avant-garde. “I go into pockets of Icelandic history . . . I love to bring diverse cosmologies alive on the page. I mix myths and crackpot theories together with my need to tell a story.” =================================================================================== The torrent contains the following books, and all are in ePUB format: * From the Mouth of the Whale, Translated from the Icelandic by Victoria Cribb (Telegram Books) * The Blue Fox, Translated from the Icelandic by Victoria Cribb (Telegram Books) * The Whispering Muse, Translated from the Icelandic by Victoria Cribb (Telegram Books) =================================================================================== Read the following articles, and SEED the torrent, and don't forget to give FEEDBACK!!! https://www.winnipegfreepress.com/arts-and-life/entertainment/books/icelandic-author-surrenders--completely-to-mercy-of-stories-279655202.html https://www.thewhitereview.org/interviews/interview-with-sjon/ https://publishingperspectives.com/2011/10/icelandic-author-sjon-on-myths-and-crackpot-theories/
