Gunnar Half. A story from the first decade of the twentieth century. A novel by Stanley Melax.
This story, by Rev. Stanley Melax, can undoubtedly be considered a work of genius. The author's style is first and foremost a match for the best known in Icelandic literature and is as independent as can be; short in its improvisation and clever in its wordplay, full of original and unexpected metaphors from the lives and environments of the people the story deals with, distressed but yet warm underneath. But the author knows what he wants - what she believes in and what she is ashamed of. He has, among other things, a representative in the story, who is a priest like himself - an unforgettable character and one of the most entertaining priests in Icelandic literature.
The story takes place in a small fishing village in the Westfjords in the first decade of this century. (Cover text).
