“Red goatees, blonde sideburns,
black imperials. Here a beard, there a
beard, everywhere a BEARD!”
In Reykjavík, scraggly hobos and
sophisticated hipsters share a common
passion: fuzzy-wuzzy unkempt beards.
“There are many copycats who want
to be Leoncie, but my Mother and
father only created one Leoncie.”
The inimitable Icy Spicy Leoncie breaks it
down for us.
“Even with your dream job it’s not
just fun and games. If you lose the
joy at some point you have to find
a way to get it back, by any means
necessary.”
Þorbjörg Helga Dýrfjörð, recipient of the
2014 Edda Award for best actress, relates
her experiences on the set of “Málmhaus”
(‘Metalhead’).
“It’s the early 2000s, Iceland’s pre-crash
boom years, and given the choice of ‘the
whiskey or the work,’ Einar begrudgingly
accepts banishment to the paper’s new
Akureyri headquarters in North Iceland,
where industrial growth has begun to
drastically alter the texture of village life.”
Árni Þórarinsson brings Iceland’s pre-crash
mentality to life in his novel ‘Season of the
Witch.’
