You don’t need to be an art connoisseur to enjoy museums. We can all enjoy them in our own particular way.
flash fiction
Illustrated English flash fiction by Börkur Sigurbjörnsson.
Flash fiction is also known as very short stories and micro fiction, and the stories are, as the names suggest, very short and simple—from one paragraph to a single page. They are snapshots of a brief moment in the daily life, often revealing a curious character, an interesting situation or a brief funny dialog.
A selection of the stories can be found in the anthology Flash 52. In addition to English, Börkur also writes flash fiction in Spanish and Icelandic.
