«D'ailleurs, les poissons n'ont pas de pieds» is the novel by Jón Kalman Stefánsson published by Folio in paperback (480 pages, in French).
The novel follows Ari, an editor in Copenhagen who returns to Iceland after receiving a package of family mementos. It interweaves three generations: his grandfather Oddur, a ship captain; his grandmother Margrét, of singular sensuality; and the memory of his mother, in a story spanning an Icelandic century between madness, eroticism, sea and poetry.
Originally written in Icelandic («Fiskarnir hafa enga fætur», 2013), translated by Éric Boury. The work was nominated for the Icelandic Literary Prize and the longlist of the International Booker Prize.
For readers of contemporary literary fiction and Icelandic narrative, especially interested in multi-generational family stories.
