Which book are you reading?
Sakfelling (Convicted), a collection of short stories from North Korea recently published by Angústúra. I am also listening to George Orwell’s 1984, and have started reading Sextíu kíló af sólskini (60 kilos of sunshine) by Hallgrímur Helgason.
What is your favourite tool in the office?
The computer, because it is the key to everything in my job.
What did you want to become as a child?
I wanted to be a police investigator.
What is your hidden talent?
Knitting. That is a talent not many people know about. I have knitted a lot of Icelandic sweaters to friends and relatives.
