2.0

I can't really say that I liked it. I mean they're good, but... not my style, I guess, this magic realism in Icelandic literature. It was so odd to read, I can't quiet put my finger on why that's so, maybe the detailed portray of everything when you actually have a feeling like nothing's happening.
I've read A woman with a mirror, Party under a stone wall and Kitchen to measure.
