Vatn er ein vátur logi
What happens when old age fragments your consciousness to such an extent that it becomes a half-finished puzzle with numerous unfamiliar pieces?
VATN ER EIN VÁTUR LOGI (Water is a Wet Flame) addresses the issue of dementia from an existential viewpoint and places it in a contemporary Faroese context.
This is the life story of an elderly woman as she remembers it in her weakened state of mind, alone and frail in a flat somewhere in the center of Tórshavn. Life is drawing to a close.
She is haunted and tormented by repressed memories of things left incomplete and neglected, not least by love.
Vatn er ein vátur logi is yet another exceptional and important work of fiction by the author who gave us Ó - SØGUR UM DJEVULSKAP (Un -: Tales of Devilry)
