Englar alheimsins

Today at work one of the guests made me aware of the fact that downstairs in the house where I live and work there is a painting hanging ,which was created by Pálmi Örn Guðmundsson, the main character of the novel and movie based on thereof "Angels of the Universe". The novel was widely hailed through critics and won the Nordic Council Literature Prize. The author of the novel happens to be Palmi's brother.
At this point of my life I feel moved and caught by that poignant story of an extremely smart and gifted person that Palmi was. He was different, one may say he was a haunted lunatic but it's not true...Working with mentally disabled people , taught me that most of them are more smarter than we 'normal'*this is a relatively subjective term* folks are. Yesterday Bjork noted on her fbook profile " there are certain emotions in your body that not even your best friend can sympathize with , but you will find the right film or the right book , and it will understand you . " 

Angels of the Universe excerpt :
"Yes, I know old Adolf {Hitler} killed lunatics, but don't forget he was just putting into practice what a lot of people think."
"Schizophrenia is deeply rooted in the Icelandic character. Look at all that belief in elves and spirits, ghosts and trolls.It's evidence of a split personality."

I highly encourage you to either watch the movie or read the book or preferably both.
