CHECK OUT AUSTRALIAN RULES FOOT-
BALL THIS WEEKEND
Subheadline joke about shrimps on barbies and Crocodile Dundee
Tungubakkavöllur, Mosfellsbær
September 10 at 23:00
With regularly scheduled games commencing only last summer, Australian Rules
Football is taking a big step forwards in Iceland this weekend when the Norwegian
national team pays Iceland a visit to play a friendly match against the Icelandic one.
The Icelandic national team will be looking to reverse the results of last weekend’s
match between Iceland and Norway, which Norway won 1-0.
Iceland’s team has been raising eyebrows for the past two years, since debuting
on the international scene at the EuroCup 2009 in Samobor Croatia, with a respect-
able finish as the Bowl winners (9th overall). The national team followed up that
success by finishing sixth at last year’s European Championship in Denmark and
Sweden.
This friendly match will serve as a great warm up for Iceland's participation in
the EuroCup 2011 in Belfast next month. Come down, bring your family and friends,
and enjoy a sport perfectly suited to the Vikings of the modern era!
For more information check out the IceAFL's webpage www.andspyrna.is.

Irène Némirovsky led a short but
intensely fascinating life. The Ukrainian-
Jewish born writer fled an unhappy
upbringing to study in Paris and began
writing at age eighteen, publishing
more than a dozen novels before her
life was cut short by the Nazis in 1942.
In the two years prior to her untimely
death, she was working on a remark-
able novel, ‘Suite Française’ (‘The
French Suite’), whose manuscript her
daughter Denise Epstein kept hidden
and unread for nearly fifty years. It
became a best-seller in 2004 and has fi-
nally been translated into Icelandic. Her
daughter Denise will be here to open up
an exhibit commemorating Irène’s life
and work and celebrating the release
of her most elusive novel. Bibliophiles,
Francophiles and history nerds are
advised not to miss this.
