ANDRI SNÆR MAGNASON is one of Iceland’s most celebrated young writers and the only author to win the Icelandic literary award both for fiction and non fiction. He has written poetry, plays, novels and in 2009 he co-directed the documentary Dreamland, which was based on his best selling book Dreamland: A Self-Help Manual for a Frightened Nation. Footage from Dreamland can be seen in Charles Ferguson’s Oscar Award winning doc, Inside Job. LoveStar was named “Novel of the Year” by Icelandic booksellers and received the DV Literary Award and a nomination for the Icelandic Literary Prize. His children’s book, The Story of the Blue Planet—now published or performed in thirty countries, was the first children’s book to receive the Icelandic Literary Prize and received the Janusz Korczak Honorary Award.
Reveiws and comments:
The Story of the Blue Planet:
“Dahl-like wit and a couple of eccentrically Arctic moments […] make this a memorable and provocative tale, and a splendid opener for discussions about our own blue planet.” Starred review, Publishers Weekly
LoveStar:
“Orwell, Vonnegut, and Douglas Adams are felt on every page, though Magnason is never derivative. His satire and insightful social commentary sweeten the pot and the sheer wackiness of Magnason’s oversized imagination is invigorating.” Starred Review. Publishers Weekly.
Dreamland – a Self Help Manual for a Frightened Nation:
“I have a feeling this is an universal problem our generation will find solutions to. This book is one of these solutions.”
Björk
Dreamland – (The film)
“This is one of the best environmental films ever made. An incredibly, moving, inspiring and fantastically political film that will make you want to be a better steward of this planet.” ***** Art Threat
