Wilderness. A novel by Guðmundur Óskarsson.
The book tells the story of a teenage boy who spends one summer with his father, a famous painter and difficult to get along with, in a southern city. The stay is fateful for both of them. Decades later, the son returns, accompanied by his grown children, and recalls this strange summer in a foreign place, under a scorching sun. The summer when the paths parted. Wilderness is a sharp and fascinating story, and here Guðmundur shows, so that there is no mistaking it, that he has a great command of poetry, the style is graphic and chiseled and the narrative is artfully woven.
