I really don’t give much for the fuss,
about forcing public transport upon us.
But whenever I am,
stuck in a traffic jam,
I wish other people would take the bus.

Börkur is an avid storyteller with a keen eye for quirky characters, funny dialogs and vivid scenario descriptions. Much of his writing falls within the genre of realistic fiction and his stories are more often than not based on real events in the author’s life. Although the tales contain grains of truth, they are melded with fiction, making the reader curious to know the line between reality and fantasy.
