"The Guardian"
This lusciously deadpan narrative is infused with a wild, anarchic take on the world that is caustically, worryingly truthful.
"Kirkus Reviews"
An uproarious, sharp, and outrageously funny joyride with plenty of octane.
Chuck Klosterman
Author of "Fargo Rock City"
"101 ReykjavIk" is more proof that Iceland is a lot like Austin, Texas, in 1992, or Olympia, Washington, in 1988, or Athens, Georgia, in 1982. More important, it answers a question that has plagued man for centuries: "How much should one pay in order to have sex with Bjork?"

Icelandic novelist HallgrÍmur Helgason inhabits his antihero's mind with marvelous acuity, subversive wit, and devilish charm. Hlynur is a true product of our postmodern global culture. Well beyond slackerdom, he lives at home with his mother and depends on social welfare. He's a quick-witted and articulate young man, and there's nothing wrong with him -- other than a total lack of ambition, an off-kilter sense of morality, and a nagging set of existential woes.
Against the backdrop of ReykjavÍk's storied nightlife and amid the swelling global presence of Icelandic culture, Helgason portrays with brutal honesty and humor a young man who takes uselessness to new extremes, and for whom redemption may not be an option. 101 ReykjavÍk is a spectacularly inventive, darkly comic tale of depraved and inspired humanity.

Buchbeschreibung Paperback. Zustand: new. Paperback. Hlynur Bjorn sleeps in. He surfs the Web. He tests the efficacy of various pornography. And at night, he hits the K-bar for a few drinks, maybe a tab of E, and perhaps a bit of sex before another crash. He'd blithely remain in this cycle forever, but when his part-time girlfriend reveals she's pregnant, his way of life is threatened. Hlynur withdraws and becomes obsessed with his mother's best friend, only to discover, after he's shagged her, that she's his mother's lesbian lover. And just when you believe he couldn't twist up his life any further, Hlynur finds a way.
