DEATH OF A FOREST
by Jonas Reynir Gunnarsson
Description
I imagine myself shooting through the night on a motorcycle. That I’m driving out of the town and letting myself disappear into the darkness. I’m as good as gone. This is why I went to Spain, to disappear.
It has been raining nonstop for several days when the forest slides down the hillside, setting off a series of events in the life of the landowner and patriarch, Magnus. Shortly afterward the bombs are discovered.

Reviews
“The flow of the novel is delightful ... The book is hard to put down and Gunnarsson manages to captivate the reader and keep them in anticipation about what happens next.” MORGUNBLADID DAILY
“I didn’t read this book – I absorbed it. An uncomfortably convincing portrait of contemporary Iceland.“ HALLGRIMUR HELGASON (ON THROUGH FLIGHT )
