Under the Glacier


COPY LINK URL ON DESCRIPTION

Nobel laureate Halld#243r Laxness17s Under the Glacier is

aone-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 atnbspSn#230fells 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 20ooh-a,21 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.
