Reykjavík Grapevine - 28.08.2009, Page 48

PAGE 6:
We went through a great strug-
gle between David and Goliath,
where Goliath was the president
of Iceland along with the ty-
coons; the people on the private
jets and yachts. And they won.
Professor Hannes Hólmsteinn Gissurarson
spouts a lot of Bible references in our cover
story.
PAGE 29:
I do not know what it is about
Blönduós that brings on confu-
sion. If I did, I could bottle it and
sell it as bottled misunderstand-
ing. I would become very rich
indeed.
Drummer-slash-crooner Sigtryggur Bald-
ursson is confused by Blönduós
PAGE 16:
Well. Everybody dies, except one
person. You could just count the
names on the poster and sub-
tract one. It’s as basic as that, a
genuine splatter flick.
Júlíus Kemp has us all looking forward to
the Reykjavík Whale Watching Massacre
PAGE 2:
Is it a coincidence that only
months prior to the attack, ALL
major international media were
bombarding people with cute
childhood photos of Knut the
white spawn of Berlin, the latest
successor to the throne of Hell?
We sure get some weird letters here at the
Grapevine
PAGE 20:
Art performances can be great,
but in most people’s mind, they
are just a perverted weak evil-
ness made to burden people
Performance artist-slash-Retrön guitarist
Kolli has him some opinions
PAGE 14:
Violence porn would have been
too easy solution. I wanted read-
ers to be able to identify with
the victim. Clinical description of
a rape do not tell you anything
about the victim’s experiences.

Literary Festival attendee Sofi Oksanen has
