The Paralyzed Teachers. A novel by Guðberg Bergsson.
Returning from his studies abroad, the spark of hope and pride of his mother discovers that nothing is waiting for him in Iceland until he, as a domestic worker, ends up at the bedside of the paralyzed sisters, Lóa and Jóna, and begins to tell them stories. Before he knows it, those stories have forced him onto a path from which there is no return. In this masterful and complex novel, Guðbergur Bergsson writes about the violence of the imagination, the power of the unimaginative, and the need for each person to take responsibility for their thoughts and actions instead of bowing to the will of the paralyzed reader.
