In 1883 a lot of interesting things happened. Krakatoa exploded. Marx died, Kafka was born. Van Gogh churned out dozens of masterpieces. Paulina Starr became the first woman dentist in Chile. In this book though, we encounter a grand allegory: in Iceland, an evil priest kills a fox and has mystic visions while trapped in an avalanche. Apparently patriarchal western culture desperately needed another kick in the shins and Sjon was the man brave enough to rise to the challenge. Another gem of the age of sanctimony. 'A Raposa Azul' é um romance demasiado curto para que se possa tornar belo, senti que faltava algo, que mais se assemelhava a um conto a correr. Queria saber mais sobre Abba, a jovem com síndrome de Down, encontrada acorrentada e tomada como protegida do naturalista Fridrik B. Fridriksoon. Ainda assim este livro, consegue expor a crueldade e brutalidade humana, especialmente em tempos antigos, quando o conhecimento estava apenas no início do seu desenvolvimento.
What do You think about Blauwvos (2006)?
The Arabic Translation was terrible, need to read it in another language.

Read it slowly, read it twice. Not everyone's cup of tea.
