Arnaldur Gunnlaugsson is a sixteen-year old fan of 2PAC Shakur living in a Reykjavik suburb with his well-to-do parents. He is handsome and bright and travels by taxi – besides haveing a disturbed mind. A Fake Bird (1997). A powerful debut novel, set in a surreal and terrifying world of drugs and violence. A book that deflowered Icelandic literature, according to one critic. Screen rights have already been sold.
"The best Icelandic novel I have read in years."
- Hallgrimur Helgason, author of 101 Reykjavík
