'Funny, strange, provoking and disturbing; darkness with a light
touch.' TLS A master storyteller, Sjon weaves together Greek and
Nordic myths with the legacies of the Second World War in this
mesmerising novel, which reminds us that everything is capable of
change. Valdimar Haraldsson is an eccentric Icelander with dubious
ideas about the relationship between fish consumption and Nordic
superiority. To his delight, in the spring of 1949, he is invited
to join a Danish merchant ship on its voyage to the Black Sea. He
is less delighted with the lack of fish on the menu. Worse, his
fellow travellers show no interest in his 'Fish and Culture'
lecture. They prefer the enthralling tales of the second mate,
Caeneus, who every evening regales them with his adventures aboard
the Argo, on Jason's legendary quest for the Golden Fleece.
