Drapa: A Murder Mystery - Gerdur Kristny

This is Viking poetry at its most contemporary. Celebrated Icelandic writer Gerður Kristný's Drápa is a novel-poem which takes its form from Old Norse shield poetry and its mood from modern Nordic crime. But the poem is no fiction: it is about a real woman's murder in the city of Reykjavik, and, through this lens, about all women s deaths.
