Around the Product: Glacier Tour
GUARANTEED SAFE CHECKOUT
Described as wildly original, morose, and uproarious, this book has been hailed as one of the funniest ever written by Susan Sontag. A young, naive man is sent by the bishop of Iceland to investigate a small town that has supposedly lost its faith. According to rumors, the church is closed, the pastor is living with a woman who is not his wife, and there is a corpse lodged in the glacier.
What he uncovers is a community that sees itself as the center of the world - a place that is both earthly and otherworldly, mundane yet extraordinary. Filled with humor, mystery, and supernatural elements, this novel by the Nobel Prize-winning Icelandic author is both surprising and poignant.
This edition includes an introduction by Susan Sontag, adding an extra layer of insight and analysis to this already compelling story.
