The Whispering Muse by Sjón
3.0
Odd little book combining Greek mythology with Nordic ship-work in the early 20th century, as narrated by an elderly, somewhat arrogant (and racist) Icelandic man. An unexpected amalgamation of my interests in myth, Scandinavia, and sea voyage, though the protagonist’s thoughts were as irritating as they were humorous. Could’ve been longer, as the novella form meant the interesting parts were truncated.
