[88] During the group stage match against Croatia, he scored a penalty in the 76th minute, but Iceland lost 2–1 and were eliminated at the group stage. [89] The other is Jon John, a queer man who is bullied by life and must hide his sexuality at every turn; unable to live open and free as he should be able to.

The Book of Reykjavik is a book of landscapes and cityscapes, of people and places. It is shameless and bold and impactful and unforgettable. Sjón (full name: Sigurjón Birgir Sigurðsson) is a literary national treasure in Iceland; celebrated as an author, poet, screenwriter, and Björk collaborator. Ungfrú Ísland under the leadership of Manuela Osk Harðardóttir and Jorge Esteban, a new era is ushered in.

But in Iceland in the 1960s, Hekla had more chance of being crowned Miss Iceland than of being a published woman writer.

I read an article about her experience with racism in Iceland. She’s an Icelander that has mixed heritage. She was born and raised in the town that I live in, Mosfellsbær. I was surprised to hear that she experienced physical and verbal abuse as a kid just because of her skin color. She will go into more detail during the interview, but it breaks my heart to know that she did many things to try to change her appearance, such as her skin color and hair, because she wanted to fit in. Hrafnhildur will represent Iceland in the Miss Universe competition in December in San José, Costa Rica. Rafn Rafnsson, the new chief executive of the Miss Iceland contest, "in hopes of diversifying the field of contestants beyond the statuesque blonde with striking blue eyes that has become the Icelandic stereotype", said "There is no Miss Iceland stereotype..."

This winning tale of friendship and self-fulfillment will inspire readers." - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
