Industry Reviews
"Dark, scary, and unbelievably funny."—Los Angeles Times
"The best short novel I've read this year. . . . Small, dark, and hard to put down."—Paul LaFarge
"A shaggy-dog story that at times reads like a sort of minor-key, Scandinavian rewrite of an English campus novel: charming, funny and strange in equal parts."—Financial Times
"Delightfully funny and unexpectedly complex, The Pets introduces American readers to a fresh voice and perspective, and provides ample incentive for us to crawl out from under the bed."—L Magazine
"The first adjective that comes to my mind when I think of [Narrator] by Bragi Olafsson is 'wonderful.'"—Stundin
"Olafsson's English-language debut is part Beckettian or even Kafkaesque black comedy, part existential novel in the Paul Auster mode, and part locked-room mystery."—Kirkus Reviews
