Faces of the present. The last novels of Halldór Laxness. By Hauk Ingvarsson.
Haukur Ingvarsson's study of the novels Kristnihaldi undir Jökli, Innansveitarkrónika and Guðsgjavaþula sheds interesting and innovative light on the development of the Nobel Prize-winning poet in the 1960s and 1970s. The reception history of these novels is discussed. Through analysis of the novels, emphasis is placed on the new and remarkable experiments with the novel form that they embody. Related to this is a reassessment of Skáldatíma, a convincing argument for the fact that in it Halldór Laxness makes up for the social realism of his great epic works and lays out the outlines of the aesthetics that lie behind his last novels.
