Myself and I

An English translation of Þráinn Bertelsson's best-selling collection of autobiographical stories Einhvers konar ég, about poverty, mental illness, bullying, depression - and the enchanting power of life. Þráinn writers of his time as a patient inside a mental institution, his brief engagement, a memorable Christmas, sexual fantasies, loneliness, a near-death experience, his incomparable father and his unusual upbringing.
The unflinching recollections of Þráinn Bertelsson are funny and tragic at once and remind the reader that sorrow is halved when shared with others - but joy is doubled.
Sorrow and joy dance side by side on the pages of this unique book.
