Longlisted for the Man Booker International Prize 2017 Keflavik: a
town that may be the darkest place in Iceland, surrounded by black
lava fields, hemmed in by a sea that may not be fished, and site of
the U.S. military base, whose influences shaped Icelandic culture
from the '50s to the dawning of the new millennium. Ari - a writer
and publisher - lands back in Keflavik from Copenhagen. His father
is dying, and he is flooded by memories of his youth in the '70s
and '80s, listening to Pink Floyd and the Beatles, raiding American
supply lorries and discovering girls. And one girl he could never
forget. Layered through Ari's story is that of his grandparents in
a village on the eastern coast, a world away from modern Keflavik.
For his grandfather Oddur, life at sea was a destiny; for Margret
its elemental power brings only loneliness and fear. Both the story
of a singular family and an epic that sparkles with love, pain and
lifelong desire - with all of human life - Fish have no Feet is a
novel of profound beauty and wisdom by a major international
writer. By the author of the acclaimed trilogy, Heaven and Hell,
The Sorrow of Angels and The Heart of Man.
