Góða nótt, Silja

by Sigurjón Magnússon

Góða nótt, Silja vakti mikla athygli þegar hún kom fyrst út árið 1997. Sögusviðið er Reykjavík um haust. Jafnvel í hversdagslegustu samböndum fólks leynast hættur. En í mannshjartanu er ekkert hversdagslegt, þar ríkir alltaf upplausn, voði og ringulreið — og einmitt þar gerist þessi magnaða saga.

184 pages, Paperback

First published January 1, 1997

Reviews

[Thorunn]

Hálf óhugguleg saga um fólk í miklum sálarflækjum. Vel skrifuð en verulega dimm og drungaleg og engum er einhvern vegin viðbjargandi.
