Sveinn Bjornsson on The Interviewpoint

From http://theinterviewpoint.com ...

In part four of our Iceland series, we speak with the editor of the country's English-language newspaper. Sveinn Bjornsson met us in a downtown Reykjavik café to discuss, among other things, the impact of Iceland's fishing quotas which have led villagers like him to congregate in the small country's growing capital.

And in a small piece of sacrilege of Bjornsson cites national hero Bjork for spreading un-truths about Iceland.

"People come to Iceland filled with this notion of this magical dream-world where man walks amongst elves and everyone's an artist and everyone writes poetry. And its not so, let me just tell you right off."
