I absolutely adored this book. I initially came across this book at a gas station few days into our trip and I'm not sure what made me pick up this random book, except that we had noticed... some quirks. I found Icelanders and their culture to be incredibly interesting and unique, yet fascinatingly paradoxical at times. This book was an absolute delight to read, insightful in many ways, and helped this one tourist going around in a circle understand and see beyond the hot dogs, wool sweaters, and beautiful vistas. I would also recommend some of the author's other little books as well.
Just back from an all too brief visit to Iceland, I am curious to learn more about this strangely beautiful country and its people. This book has answered some questions, and whetted my appetite for more information.Being an Icelander raised mainly abroad, the author is in a unique position to explain the country to non-Icelanders. Of course, as she is careful to make very clear, this is Iceland seen through one person's filter. Because it's so openly a personal perspective I'd have liked to have had more of an extended author bio upfront, explaining why her family left, where she has lived, where she studied, jobs, whom she is married to, number of children, other family still in Iceland? etc. in order for me to put her viewpoints into context. I get the feeling she is well-known and perhaps she assumes people know her back story already, but I don't. However, not knowing that stuff doesn't keep this from being a well-written and fascinating read!This book is an excellent brief introduction to contemporary Icelandic society. I highly recommend it as a starting place to anyone who, like me, is ignorant but sincerely interested. I'd love to see a "for further reading" list of books (fiction and non-fiction) by other authors or even movies that the author recommends, for more Icelandic perspectives. Of course, I definitely plan to read more by Alda Sigmundsdóttir!
I'm planning a trip to Iceland soon and got this because it seemed like a quick cultural introduction. I've read many of the Icelandic Sagas and have a decent understanding of Icelandic history, but beyond the 13th century (and Bjartur of Summerhouse much later) I don't know much about modern culture and how Iceland has adapted to globalization and the connections that modern technology affords us.Alda Sigmundsdottir does an excellent job of identifying, explaining, and commenting on some of Iceland's major cultural idiosyncrasies and the influences that contribute to them. She bridges a gap between outsider and native because she is an Icelander by name and genes but was raised abroad and thus has experienced both sides. And, despite accurate (or at least it sounds accurate but we'll see when I visit) analysis of the country's culture and traditions, Alda keeps the whole thing light and casual and funny. I read this in spurts over the course of about a week, but it could be completed within a few hours. Each essay only takes a few minutes to read.Overall, this provides insight into a country that I don't think the globe really knows what to do with. It's such a unique little island that nowhere else on earth is similar. It's definitely worth the read and provides a good base to start from when you're visiting and looking to experience Iceland with a deeper understanding. Plus it was short and fun.
Delightfully entertaining, telling you everything you want to know about how Icelanders live and think. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and gained a great deal of information, while connecting you with the differences in the beliefs and traditions of the true Icelanders. A great book of insight.
Alda's personal history gives her a unique perspective on Icelandic culture. In essence, she's a Stranger in a Strange Land (must read scifi novel by Robert A. Heinlen). Alda was born in Iceland, but was raised mostly in Canada and Western Europe, moving back to Iceland when she was in her 30's. Whatever Alda missed out on by attending elementary school, secondary school and college abroad, she has more than made up for with her own research. Although Alda has clearly done quite a bit of academic research, most of the knowledge presented in this book is based on her personal experience of trying to "grok" (Heinlein reference) the social norms and culture that is both familiar and foreign to her. What I love most about this book is Alda's writing style - conversational, clever, humorous and incredibly informative. I couldn't put it down. In sumarry, both this book and Alda's other book, The Little Book of Icelandic, is a must read for anyone planning a visit to Iceland. If you're not planning a trip to Iceland, you should...it's an amazing "re-creational" experience.
It started about two weeks ago when I ordered a copy of the author’s other book, “The Little Book of Icelandic.†Now I’m obsessed — no — addicted. Suddenly, I own a copy of almost everything she’s written. This is another wonderful, hilarious page-turner that will hook you and never let you go.
Enjoyable and insightful book, though a quick read.Iceland has always been a curious place to me, because it is such a small country, with a unique geography and environment. I'm considering traveling there next fall, so I wanted to read a little bit about the culture. The essays were definitely interesting and helpful in learning a bit about Icelanders.
This is a very personal but at the same time quite comprehensive view of the Icelandic character and society, definitely worth reading before or during your trip there. Alda is an engaging writer. I highly recommend her other books as well,and if you are interested in Icelandic doings,history,and stories,subscribe to her blog.
