Ólafur Jóhann Sigurðsson was one of the nation's leading poets of the 20th century. He wrote many great realist novels, including the collection of stories about the journalist Pál Jónsson, and for his poetry he received the Nordic Council Literature Prize in 1976.
However, it was Ólafur Jóhann's short stories that established his reputation as a writer, and he is undoubtedly among the best short story writers in Icelandic literature. Ólafur Jóhann had a great command of the concise form, and his stories deal with the realistic themes that are often the core of good short stories: the desire for beauty and ugliness, humanity and empathy, wrongdoing and discord.
