Under the glacier

Nobel laureate HalldOr Laxness's Under the Glacier is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, a wryly provocative novel at once earthy and otherworldly. At its outset, the Bishop of Iceland dispatches a young emissary to investigate certain charges against the pastor at Sn'fells Glacier, who, among other things, appears to have given up burying the dead. But once he arrives, the emissary finds that this dereliction counts only as a mild eccentricity in a community that regards itself as the center of the world and where Creation itself is a work in progress. What is the emissary to make, for example, of the boarded-up church' What about the mysterious building that has sprung up alongside it' Or the fact that Pastor Primus spends most of his time shoeing horses' Or that his wife, Ua (pronounced "ooh-a," which is what men invariably sputter upon seeing her), is rumored never to have bathed, eaten, or slept' Piling improbability on top of improbability, Under the Glacier overflows with comedy both wild and deadpan as it conjures a phantasmagoria as beguiling as it is profound. From the Trade Paperback edition.

  • "De bisschop van IJsland stuurt een jonge priester, Gebi, naar de pastoor van een afgelegen parochie aan de voet van de Snæfellsgletsjer om de klachten over pastoor Jon Primus te onderzoeken. Zo zou de man de doden in zijn parochie niet meer begraven. De bisschop drukt Gebi op het hart om objectief te werk te gaan. Daarom neemt Gebi een bandrecorder mee. De nuchtere, esoterische beschouwingen van de dorpsbevolking laten zich echter niet zo makkelijk op band vangen en Gebi raakt verwikkeld in allerlei vreemde situaties. Bron: Flaptekst, uitgeversinformatie."
