Hallgrímur Helgason (February 18, 1959 in Reykjavík) is an Icelandic painter, novelist, translator, and columnist.[1]
[edit] Biography
Hallgrímur studied at the Art Academy of Iceland, and then the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich.
He has worked independently as an artist and writer since 1982, and has held over twenty solo exhibitions in Iceland, Boston, Paris and Malmö.[2] His work has also been displayed in over 30 group exhibitions in various countries.
His first novel Hella came out in 1990. His best-known works are 101 Reykjavík, which was made into a popular film of the same name, and Höfundur Íslands, which won the Icelandic Literary Prize in 2001. Hallgrímur was nominated again for the prize in 2005 for his novel Rokland. He has also been nominated for the Nordic Council's Literature Prize for both 101 Reykjavík and Rokland. Hallgrímur's latest novel, 10 ráð til að hætta að drepa fólk og byrja að vaska upp, was also written in English as The Hitman's Guide to House Cleaning, but has yet to be published in English.[3]
He currently lives and works in Reykjavík.
