CoDex 1962

Jósef Loewe [sic.] claims to remember the moment of his birth on a kitchen table in Reykjavik in 1962. But he also traces his origins back to Germany at the height of the Second World War and to a lump of clay, shaped into a baby by his fugitive Jewish father.

Truth, dreams, fantasies and fable coalesce in the captivating story of Jósef's life and times, the narrative of a man trying to make sense of the modern world and his place in it. Spanning continents, eras and genres, this is a boundary-breaking, electrifying novel by an Icelandic master.
