Really good article in the New Yorker about an Icelandic writer. I liked his Independent People a lot. Check it out if you have the time. But, despite the New Yorker article being solid, it kinda glosses over why he was black listed in the US. Apparently he was socialist and stood against the Icelandic joining of NATO. No surprise there. Good stuff to read nevertheless.
