Die Islandglocke by Halldór Laxness

5.0

A handful of Trickster-archetypes on a volcanic island with a gateway to Hell and a bad case of the Danes get up to all kinds of antics until the entire legal system declares itself invalid. There's brandy, ancient sagas on sheepskin, wrestling matches with the recently executed, and although it's not a fantasy, there's an elf-queen, a troll-wife, and a giant witch but what there never seems to be enough of is fishing line.
