The Passion Psalms. A novel by Einar Kárason.
It is an unlucky thing to find yourself in a poet's book: to suddenly become a character in a work of fiction where everything is more or less in keeping with the style, if not completely turned on its head. Many people know Einar Kárason's story about Eyvind Jónsson Storm, who lived in Denmark for a long time and was described as a rather dubious character. In that story, so many things were out of order that it is no longer enjoyable. Right must be right.
Here Stormur defends himself, explains his position, and corrects errors. However, the author also interjects his own views and comments, interspersed with comments from Stormur's friends and family, and all of this is presented to the readers for their information – or at least for their entertainment.
The Passion Hymns are an incomparable reading that turns the novel into a novel; Eyvindur Stormur and Einar Kárason lead their horses together to create a hilarious and complex comedy.
