NOVEL: Kindness
Like a poetic power plant Eiríkur harnesses portions of reality – uses them to create something electric, has them resound through overgrown and even distorted, yet directly related, presentations which challenge the reader while simultaneously reminding him of all that which too quickly gets forgotten […] Kindness is a sermon-on-the-mount about contemporaneity, performed in nimbly encoded images, sharp and rich in content.
