SUMMARY:Jón Kalman Stefánsson: Winnipeg Free Press Book Club
DESCRIPTION:Heaven and Hell by Jón Kalman Stefánsson (trans. Philip Roughton) is the Winnipeg Free Press Book Club’s November Pick! Jón will be appearing virtually for this online event to speak about the book. \nThe event will take place virtually on Tuesday\, November 25 at 12PM CT. More details TK. \nOrder Heaven and Hell here! \nCheck out the second book\, The Sorrow of Angels\, here! \nABOUT HEAVEN AND HELL \n“Stefánsson shares the elemental grandeur of Cormac McCarthy.”—Eileen Battersby\, TLS \nIn a remote fishing village\, a boy and his best friend spend the lonely hours on shore reading and talking about poetry. When the friend\, absorbed in a borrowed copy of Paradise Lost\, forgets his oilskin one morning and the crew is unexpectedly caught at sea in a savage winter storm\, tragedy strikes. Overwhelmed by grief—and his crewmates’ indifference to what has happened—the boy leaves the village\, determined to return the book to its owner. The hardship and danger of the journey is of little consequence: he’s already resolved to join his friend in death. But when he reaches the town where he intends to end his days\, he couldn’t have imagined the stories and lives he finds. \nNavigating the depths of despair to celebrate the redemptive power of friendship\, Heaven and Hell is an incandescent story of community\, resilience\, and love from one of Iceland’s most celebrated novelists. \nABOUT JON KALMAN STEFANSSON \nJón Kalman Stefánsson’s novels have been nominated three times for the Nordic Council Prize for Literature\, and his novel Summer Light\, and Then Comes the Night received the Icelandic Prize for Literature in 2005. In 2011 he was awarded the prestigious P. O. Enquist Award. He is perhaps best known for his trilogy: Heaven and Hell\, The Sorrow of Angels (longlisted for the Independent Foreign Fiction Prize) and The Heart of Man (winner of the Oxford-Weidenfeld Translation Prize). A subsequent novel\, Fish Have No Feet\, was longlisted for the Man Booker International Prize in 2017.
