Halló! You could always try The Little Book of the Icelanders (English), edited by Alda Sigmundsdóttir.
That said, if you're looking for literature á íslensku, it might be easier to fly to Reykjavík...

It's cultural. Stick with Laxness, et al. for modern literary value.

Einar Mar Gudmundsson.
His work "Angels of the Universe" is fantastic

Didn't know there was a movie. Thanks!

Honestly that movie had a huge impact on me. I have never suffered from schizophrenia however I did suffer from a psychosis and was hospitalized against my will for 6 weeks when I was 21. The best films about mental illness that I've come across is Angels of the Universe, clean,shaved and woman under the influence.
