The White Book. A collection of articles by Einar Má Guðmundsson.
Einar Már Guðmundsson is one of our most respected writers, but his latest work strikes a new tone. The White Book is a remarkable work from an outstanding author who dissects the state of society and inspires the nation to do better.
The White Book is in many ways a unique work, a lively and funny book but at the same time ruthless in its description of Icelandic society and its development in recent years; it travels widely in time and space, mixing the author's personal memories with chapters from world political history, rock music and economic debate, politics and literature, social criticism and sound human understanding. It proves that sometimes a poetic talent is needed to see things in their proper context and point to obvious solutions.
The White Book is both a bank of ideas and an unusual informational book. Einar Már spares no one, neither on the right nor on the left, and asks uncomfortable questions, not unlike the child in the story who wondered why the emperor was not wearing any clothes. The spark for the book was Einar's provocative writings in Morgunblaðið in the first weeks after the collapse last autumn, which attracted a lot of attention here at home and abroad and appeared in the pages of Information in Denmark and Götaborgarpóst in Sweden, among others.
