Frey, O. de Lamberterie (Elle) : Les 39 meilleurs livre de poche du moment 6 juin 2018 - Ari, un éditeur d’une cinquantaine d’années, a fui son pays et son passé pour s’installer au Danemark. Un colis rempli de souvenirs, envoyé par son père, le ramène vers son Islande natale. Une chronique familiale sur trois générations qui sent l’air marin, le souffle du vent, les terres sauvages et l’éternité. --Nathalie Dupuis Wonderfully meandering book rooted in Keflavik, a small community trying to recover in the present from the departure of an American airbase and the sale of fishing rights. Stepping back into family histories of fishing, families and emigration, love stories and terrible losses. Peppered with philosophical musings on identity, motherhood and knowing each other, alongside the dark humour of the unlikeliest restaurant name, obsessions with Revolver and the power of teen love. Unlike anything else I've read. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Keflavik: a town that has been called the darkest place in Iceland, surrounded by black lava fields, hemmed in by a sea that may not be fished. Its livelihood depends entirely on a U.S. military base, a conduit for American influences that shaped Icelandic culture and ethics from the 1950s to the dawning of the new millennium. It is to Keflavik that Ari - a writer and publisher - returns from Copenhagen at the behest of his dying father, two years after walking out on his wife and children. He is beset by memories of his youth, spent or misspent listening to Pink Floyd and the Beatles, fraternising with American servicemen - who are regarded by the locals with a mixture of admiration and contempt - and discovering girls. There is one girl in particular he could never forget - her fate has stayed with him all his life. Lost in grief and nostalgia, he is also caught up in the story of how his grandparents fell in love in Nordfjordur on the eastern coast, a fishing village a world away from modern Keflavik, at time when the old ways still held sway. Their tragic love affair unfolded against the backdrop of Iceland's harsh nature and unforgiving elements. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

Það er margt sem ég hreifst af í bókinni. Mér fannst til dæmis Jón gera vel þegar hann lýsir breytingum sem skekja Keflavík þegar kvótinn er seldur þaðan og málfarið var oft á tíðum gullfallegt og sumar setningarnar voru hreinasta sælgæti sem hægt var að kjamsa á.
Ég hef hrifist mikið af skrifum Jóns Kalmans en varð fyrir nokkrum vonbrigðum með þessa nýjustu bók hans. Málskrúðið var á köflum of mikið og ég var ekki að fatta áhrif tengingarinnar við forfeður afkomandans við nútímann ( )
