Almanac of the Icelandic Friends. A poetic saga by Ólafur Hauk Símonarson.
My name is Ólafur Haukur Símonarson.
I was baptized with this name shortly after I was born. At that time, I was between life and death. I did not choose this name myself for obvious reasons. However, if I had to choose a name, it would have been this name without a doubt. This is the name that suits me. Yes, it has become clear that no other name suits me.
I was baptized in the name of my father's friend who drowned at sea. I was also once almost drowned at sea.
Remarkable.
- Listen, I call into the bathroom, I've learned a little about myself. Maybe it's important. I'm not afraid of drowning in the sea.
She makes a crack between the post and the door.
- You're the kind of man who's not afraid of drowning in the sea, she says.
- Yes, I say, exactly.
- What does that mean? she asks.
- That's it, I say, maybe I'll crawl into bed and lie down. I think better in a horizontal position. I need to clear my head a little.
- Do it, friend, she says.
