OverviewWelcome to Iceland's centrifugal zone, where satire and surrealism spin side by side. In Odd Stories Out of the Centrifuge, folklore is filtered through farce, language morphs into weapon and plaything, and the saints, sinners, and halfwits of modern society are whirled into unlikely epiphanies. These stories - sometimes biblical, sometimes bureaucratic, always a little off - explore gender, faith, violence, governance, and the absurdity of progress with the tongue firmly in cheek and the mind wide open. You'll meet road workers who enforce justice with snowplows, ex-bishops who nap in stone coffins, and AI-powered trousers that transform a fool into a philosopher. From the legendary Bakkabræður to Satan's resignation letter, no one escapes the pull of the centrifuge. Wickedly funny and profoundly strange, this collection is for readers who like their satire sharp, their humor dark, and their Icelandic irony undiluted.
