A hilarious work of Icelandic fiction about a man trapped under his own bed while his arch-nemesis throws a party. Darkly funny and oddly charming, The Pets is the first novel by former member of Bjork's first band The Sugarcubes Bragi Olafsson to be translated into English. Dark and hilarious, the breezy style of The Pets belies its depth and disguises a complexity that increases with each page.
