From the Mouth of the Whale: A Novel
“Sjón is the trickster that makes the world, and he is achingly brilliant.From the Mouth of the Whaleis strange and wonderful, an epic made mad, made extraordinary.” —Junot Díaz “Hallucinatory, lyrical, by turns comic and tragic, this extraordinary novel should make Sjón an international name. His evocation of seventeenth-century Iceland through the eyes of a man born before his time has stuck in my mind like nothing else I’ve read in the last year.” —Hari Kunzru
