i haven't read anything by sjón, no! i have been terrible at keeping up with icelandic literature, actually. i've heard good things about him, but also it's hard to get my hands on icelandic stuff here without resorting to inter-library loans. which i'm happy to do, but i'm so flaky when it comes to reading things that by the time i get it, i'll likely have lost interest in reading it in that moment, and then suddenly a month has passed and i have to return it... back when i used libraries more it wasn't uncommon that i'd check out six books, read four of them, and return the lot, and then repeat the process, re-borrowing the same book several times until i just gave up...

anyway, point is, nope. i'm glad to hear the translation is good, though! with more obscure languages it can be SO hard to find good translators.
