Reykjavík is a UNESCO city of Literature. We have a long written history with the oldest manuscripts from around 1200. We have lots of fine writers today that are translated to up to 40 languages. Dean Nelson from The New York Times just came to Reykjavík and interviewed me and some other people. Here you can read about my theory of how Icelanders possibly evolved from cod (irony alert). This must be the first picture of me in the New York Times but my children’s book: The Story of The Blue Planet got a great review a couple of years ago.
