Iceland Summer
Iceland Summer
Description
Vividly illustrated by Julia Oldham, Iceland Summer (fermented grain mash) and pylsur (Icelandic hot dogs), he explores the Hornstrandir peninsula, walks to the famed Dettifoss waterfall, waits for a glimpse of the lake monster Lagarfljtsormurinn at Egilsstair, visits the world's only penis museum, and pays homage to centuries of Icelandic literary tradition at the rni Magnsson Institute.
Writing in the tradition of other pairs who have traveled in Iceland, like W. G. Collingwood and Jn Stefnsson, and W. H. Auden and Louis MacNeice, Caswell meditates on the value of wild places in the modern world, travel as both pastime and occupation, the nature of friendship, and walking, food, and literature. Scott is the Sancho Panza to Caswell's Don Quixote, offering a ribald humor that grounds Caswell's flights into the romantic. The two travel well together and together arrive at the understanding that what anchors them both is their lifelong friendship.
