Under the GlacierNobel laureate Halld r Laxness's Under the Glacier is a one of a kind masterpiece, a wryly provocative novel at once earthy and otherworldly.

Nobel laureate Halld r Laxness's Under the Glacier is a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, a wryly provocative novel at once earthy and otherworldly. At its outset, the Bishop of Iceland dispatches a young emissary to investigate certain charges against the pastor at Sn fells Glacier, who, among other things, appears to have given up burying the dead. But once he arrives, the emissary finds that this dereliction counts only as a mild eccentricity in a community that regards itself as the center of the world and where Creation itself is a work in progress.
What is the emissary to make, for example, of the boarded-up church? What about the mysterious building that has sprung up alongside it? Or the fact that Pastor Primus spends most of his time shoeing horses? Or that his wife, Ua (pronounced "ooh-a," which is what men invariably sputter upon seeing her), is rumored never to have bathed, eaten, or slept? Piling improbability on top of improbability, Under the Glacier overflows with comedy both wild and deadpan as it conjures a phantasmagoria as beguiling as it is profound.

Every Glamorous Pup Needs Pawfum
Color: Black Noir Pawfum, Size: One Size, Color: Black Noir Pawfum, Size: One Size
As a sophisticated young lady with impeccable taste, I can confidently say that the Chewnel Noir Pawfum is a must-have for every fashionable pup. The moment I got my paws on it, I knew it was special. It’s soft, adorable, and the perfect size for carrying around the house, chewing, cuddling, and showing off during my puppy playdates. It adds just the right amount of luxury to my toy collection. Not only does it look fabulous in photos, but it also keeps me entertained for hours. My humans can’t stop laughing every time they see me strutting around with my designer “pawfum.” If you’re a puppy who loves the finer things in life, this toy deserves a spot in your collection. Five paws from Pennie Lou! Because every glamorous girl needs her signature scent.
