Fridrik Erlings is a novelist, screenwriter, graphic designer, and musician. In 1986 he founded the alternative rock band the Sugarcubes with Bjork before leaving music to pursue his writing. He has written and translated lyrics as well as ?lm and television scripts and is the author of the Icelandic classic Benjamin Dove. He says that Fish in the Sky is "about the extreme pains and joys of being a teenager, the curious period in our lives that we all experience in more or less the same way, regardless of our culture, country, race, or gender.

Fridrik Erlings lives with his wife on a farm in Iceland's wide-open South. See less
