Books from Reykjavik

Hhmm will they ever translate my fine novels?
The new Hallgrimur Helgason novel sounds interesting. Danish review here. As far as I can see it hasn't been translated to english yet, but one of his earlier novels 101 Reykjavik has. A recommended read. Currently I'm reading a novel by another fine icelandic author Sjón. He has written some of Björks lyrics, and was also co-writing with Björk and Lars von Trier in the making of the soundtrack for Dancer in the Dark. Oh and in 2005 he won the most prestigious nordic literature award there is. His novels havn't been translated to english yet. Shame shame.
