Minnisbók

A poet recalls his years in France from 1967 to 1982. He arrives in Paris in a time of turmoil and revolt, a nineteen-year-old pastor's son from the north of Iceland fresh out of school, and studies French and later theatre and literature at the Sorbonne, going home a fully formed poet once his studies are over. May 1968, Janis, Jim and Jimi, Montparnasse and the rue Maître-Albert pass by, along with countless people, some world famous, others unknown or nameless. The third part of a trilogy of memoirs.
