After the sun and samba of Brazil, where travellers on the World literature tour highly recommended Machado de Assis, Graciliano Ramos and Jorge Amado (while complaining about Paulo Coelho), and an additional round of voting, the tour is set for Iceland. Thanks for all your recommendations and your votes.
From sagas to Sigurdsson and from rimur to Romantics - not forgetting Nobel laureate Halldor Laxness - we're looking for your recommendations for the best Icelandic literature, whether novels, poems, plays, short stories or non-fiction. All the better if they're available in English, but keep suggesting books that have yet to be translated, and who knows what might happen.
And don't forget to vote for our next destination. Nigeria came a close second last time, and I reckon it's about time we headed for somewhere in Africa, but this is your tour - you're in charge. Over to you.
