HALLDÓR LAXNESS (1902-1998) was the undisputed master of contemporary Icelandic fiction and one of the outstanding novelists of the century.  Major influences on his writings included August Strindberg, Sigmund Freud, Sinclair Lewis, Upton Sinclair, Bertolt Brecht and Ernest Hemingway.  In 1955 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature "for his vivid epic power which has renewed the great narrative art of Iceland."
