Heklugjá. Guide to the Fire. A novel by Ófeigur Sigurðsson.
A writer walks across Skólavörðuholtið with his dog every day, on his way to the National Archives, where he reads about the artist and eccentric Karl Dunganon. The museum is staffed by a girl with fiery red hair and sea-green eyes who is no less interesting than old documents – but it's a lot of work to get to know a person.
Heklugjá – a guide to the fire is an adventurous story about the search for happiness. Games spread across seas and lands and centuries; from the depths of history new characters constantly appear, while in the bowels of the earth an eternal fire simmers and erupts with a bang. Layers of ash cover older layers of ash, and beneath it all lie treasures, stories, poetry and life.
Ófeigur Sigurðsson has published books of poetry and novels that have attracted much attention, including Skáldsaga um Jón… which won the European Union Prize for Literature in 2011 and the best-selling book Öræfi won the Icelandic Literature Prize in 2014.
