{"id":2,"count":24,"description":"Short stories by the Icelandic fiction writer B\u00f6rkur Sigurbj\u00f6rnsson. B\u00f6rkur's short stories fall mostly within the genre of realistic fiction but are mixed with fantasy, creating a blurry boundary between fiction and reality.\u200b His short stories are typically inspired by actual real events, but the narration is exaggerated, satirized and transferred to a different context, gradually moving the story from reality into the realm of fiction. \r\n\r\nA selection of the short stories can be found in the short story collections 999 Abroad<\/a> and Talk to Strangers<\/a>. The books are available from online retailers such as Amazon (including Kindle)<\/a>, Apple\u2019s iBooks store<\/a>, Barnes and Noble<\/a>, Kobo<\/a>, and Storytel<\/a>.\r\n\r\nIn addition to English<\/a>, B\u00f6rkur also writes short stories in Spanish<\/a> and Icelandic<\/a>. The short stories are illustrated by the author himself or by his friends.
