Icelandic Authors discuss Icelandic Literature

Ten Icelandic authors talk about Icelandic literature at Gljúfrasteinn, home of the Icelandic Nobel Laureate Halldór Laxness. The authors are: Andri Snær Magnason, Auður Jónsdóttir, Bergur Ebbi Benediktsson, Bergþóra Snæbjörnsdóttir, Dóri DNA, Einar Már Guðmundsson, Gerður Kristný, Ragnar Jónasson, Steinunn Sigurðardóttir and Þóra Hjörleifsdóttir. Icelandic literature has enjoyed great success outside of Iceland in recent years, especially in French and German speaking regions and many books have been published each year in French and German translations as well as in English.
