Your absence is darkness. A novel by Jón Kalman Stefánsson.
Is it responsibility or cowardice to accept one's fate? Here, across time and place, from Hólmavík south across Europe, generation after generation, lives intertwine that may be as insignificant as fence posts but still hold everything together. A corn child who is just above the kitchen table, a long-dead German poet, a sailor who is an expert in Kierkegaard, a sad rock star, a student from MR, dead puppies and who is this priest-trained bus driver? Some smiles can change worlds and some lives are ignited only because worlds went out of control.
This is a story of humanity and frailty and the insatiable forgetfulness.
