“An asylum can be found in many places”—so begins a memorable line from Einar Már Guðmundsson’s widely acclaimed, prize-winning novel. Few works of Icelandic fiction have struck the nation so deeply at its core as the story of Páll, who narrates his life from the symbolic dream his mother dreamt on the eve of his birth to its inevitable conclusion. The slow encroachment of madness across his world—casting its shadow over him and his family—is portrayed with devastating power. Yet, though the tale plumbs the depths of despair and bitter destiny, it is suffused with warmth and leavened by humor, both in voice and in style.
