The Blue Fox is part mystery, part fairy tale, and the perfect
introduction to a mind-bending, world-class literary talent.
**
Set against the stark backdrop of the Icelandic winter, an elusive,
enigmatic fox leads a hunter on a transformative quest. At the edge of
the hunter's territory, a naturalist struggles to build a life for his
charge, a young woman with Down syndrome whom he had rescued from a
shipwreck years before. By the end of Sjón's slender, spellbinding fable
of a novel, none of their lives will be the same.
