Hlynur Björn is an unemployed 30-something loner, still living with his mum, who spends his days on the Internet, watching satellite TV, and gazing at girls in the pub. But Hlynur's cosy, unthreatening world is shaken when his mother comes out as a lesbian, and her Spanish girlfriend Lolla moves into their home. 101 Reykjavik is a first-person account of a blackly funny and bizarre love triangle, a dark, comic tale of perverse sexuality and slacker culture in Iceland's trendy capital city that pokes fun along the way at such foibles of our culture as CNN weather reports and porn videos.
Born in Dublin in 1960, Brian FitzGibbon graduated with a B.A. (hons) in Drama at the University of Kent at Canterbury (UKC) in 1985 and went on to study film at the Istituto di Scienze Cinematografiche in Florence. Prior to moving to Iceland in 1996, he worked in Italy as a translator and dialogue coach on a number of film productions.
