About
"The second volume in former Reykjavik mayor Jón Gnarr's childhood memoir-novel trilogy follows the success of The Indian, described by NPR as 'a beautiful but disturbing portrait of a misfit painfully aware that he's not like anyone else.' In The Pirate, poor young Jón stands at a crossroads at the end of middle school looking into a future he doesn't believe in, feeling like a total outcast in society. But there is light at the tunnel: hope comes in the guise of the Sex Pistols and Prince Kropotkin--punk rock, and anarchy offer the promise of a better and more exciting life"--Page 4 of cover.
