Börkur Sigurbjörnsson’s flash fiction pieces (also known as very short stories and micro fiction) 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. The stories are illustrated by the author himself.
A selection of the flash fiction pieces can be found in the anthology Flash 52. In addition to English, Börkur also writes flash fiction in Spanish and Icelandic.
