'A book like a blade of light, searching out and illuminating the
darkest corners of history . . . It's vivid, unputdownable, alive,
and written with unerring artfulness and subtlety.' Neel Mukherjee
Gunnar Kampen grows up in Iceland during the Second World War in a
household fiercely opposed to Hitler and Nazism. At nineteen he
seems set for a conventional, dutiful life. And yet in the spring
of 1958, he founds a covert, anti-Semitic nationalist party, a
cause that will take him on a clandestine mission to England from
which he never returns. Inspired by one of the ringleaders of a
little-known neo-Nazi group that was formed in Iceland in the
1950s, Sjon's portrait of an ardent fascist is as thought-provoking
as it is disturbing. As this taut and fascinating novel suggests,
the seeds of extremism can be hard to detect - and the ideology of
the far-right remains dangerously potent.
