The Blue Fox
This trully is “a magical novel," as Björk put it.
1883. A priest, Skugga-Baldur, goes on a hunt for a mysterious and rare blue fox in a harsh Icelandic winter. And a story about a herbalist, Friðrik B. Friðriksson, and Abba. Nature and man, both savage and ruthless.
Quite a simple story, but told in a magnificent way. I loved it.

The man decided to let himself be snowed in.
He moved a little while this was happening, so the snow formed a windproof shell around him.
Since then, his prolific writing drove him to pen song lyrics, scripts for movies and of course novels such as The Blue Fox
