In the beginning the page was blank and without form, and the
scribe sat in front of it, a world forming inside his head. The
world grew large, spilling out of him and on to the page. The
scribe shaped the world into an island. He named it Fagero, and
populated it with an assortment of likely and plausibly unlikely
characters, and saw that it was good for his purposes.The people of
Fagero were often divided against each other but united in their
appreciation of their happy little island. Then the dead bodies
began to arrive: hordes of them, washing ashore with no
identification and no one to claim them.The island was changing,
and the small-town quirkiness becoming less restrained. And the
bodies kept arriving, forcing Fagero's inhabitants to confront the
unhappy truth that, even on their remote island, the world's
horrors and injustices could not be ignored. This was prescient at
the time of writing and is sadly relevant in 2016, the year of this
English translation.A Happy Little Island is an elaborate tale told
with style and intelligence.The number and variety of Sund's
Dramatis Personae make Fagero the perfect stage for an encounter
between common humanity and the insularity and fear of change that
affect all cultures.
