Product Description

Product Description

Hugleikur Dagsson is from Iceland. During the winter in Iceland there are only three hours of daylight. During the summer in Iceland there is no darkness. Iceland’s national drink is called ‘Black Death’. Iceland's national dish is putrefied shark meat. In Iceland this book is a cult-bestseller. The questions you should ask yourself is:Should you be laughing at this?


About the Author

Hugleikur Dagsson's silly little cartoons took the Icelandic counter-culture scene by storm when they were initially published as photocopies stapled together by the author himself. Subsequently, the book has become a best-seller in Iceland - and he has produced a play of the book which recently won the Best Play of 2005 award in Iceland's main national newspaper. Hugleikur lives in Reykjavik - and is talk of the town. He is currently working on a musical.

5.0 out of 5 stars Yes...You should. No question about it!, 21 Aug 2006
By DBHoops (London) - See all my reviews
Stickmen have never been so funny. If you ever need to know what 24 hrs of darkness at winter over many years does to a man, then this is your answer.

This is a perfect stocking filler for a loved one at xmas or a great birthday present that you'll get loads of enjoyment giving. (If only to see the look on your elderly relatives face when they start reading it!)

Charmingly offensive and laugh out loud funny. So...Should you be laughing at this? Of course you should, no question about it.

5.0 out of 5 stars I just bought this book today..., 11 Nov 2006
By Karolina Maria (London, England) - See all my reviews
I just bought this book today and started reading it on a tube. Well, I guess people were thinking I must be crazy, because I literally found myself laughing out loud. This is gonna be a classic, so put your hands on it as soon as possible.

5.0 out of 5 stars First sight it's fabulous., 17 Jul 2006
By J. Loynes (South Coast UK.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've only seen a dozen or so pages from a promo pamphlet, but my word, they are hilarious. True, they're dark humour, in fact very dark, and occaisionlly quite deviant. But fantastic! You need this book,if only so you understand when every t-shirt, card and poster becomes dagsson when this gets published. The question is should you be laughing? To be honest, that underlying guilt that you really shouldn't be, makes them even better. Buy it!
