From the author of the prize-winning As the Women Lay Dreaming
comes a remarkable 'unreliable biography' of Karl Kjerulf
Einarsson: an artist and an adventurer, a charlatan and a swindler,
forever in search of Atlantis. As a child in the windswept,
fog-bound Faroe Islands in the late nineteenth century, Karl
Einarsson believes he is special, destined for a life of art and
adventure. As soon as he can, he sets out for Copenhagen and
beyond, styling himself as the Count of St. Kilda. He's an observer
and citizen of nowhere, a serial swindler of aristocrats and Nazis,
fishermen and fops. But when his adventures find him in 1930s
Berlin, he is forced for the first time to reckon with something
much bigger than himself. As the Nazis rise to power around him,
his wilful ignorance becomes unwitting complicity, even betrayal.
Based on a true story, this is a fantastical tale of island life,
of those who leave and those who stay behind, and the many dangers
of delusions and false identities.
