Default Re: Help sought identifying contemporary Icelandic author

Hm, I looked on wikipedia and failed to find that link, so thanks for that. I'll follow through on some of those to see if I find the chap I'm looking for.

It wasn't so much a question of importance, as that I understand there is one author particularly known for writing about the present generation, whether that's important or not I can't personally say. Was Maupin important for writing about his milieu? Too early to say really. Importance is a fluid beast.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that culture is more important than money right now though, money is jolly important when you suddenly have none. Or, indeed, when you never had any. But here I risk straying into general chat territory...
