The Devil Runs into Gamaliel. Stories and Memoirs by William Heinesen. Translated by Þorgeir Þorgeirsson. Cover illustration and illustrations by Zacharias Heinesen.
The Devil Runs into Gamaliel is the second book in the new collection of works by William Heinesen, translated by Þorgeir Þorgeirsson. The collection of short stories provides a diverse picture of the short story writing of this unique author.
The first part contains several of Heinesen's most extensive and well-known short stories, the witty and clever title story, the stories Atlanta, Soul, and Virgin Birth, where one of the main characters is the poet Einar Benediktsson.
The second part is composed of poetic fragments of reminiscence, especially from the poet's upbringing in the Faroe Islands. The last part also arises from such an environment, where old memories and childhood games are transformed into fairy tales and poetry. This part contains three related stories, each more beautiful than the other, and with it the collection is connected into a fairly continuous whole. (Cover text)
