Although he spent most of his life in the Faroe Islands he chose to write in Danish as he felt it offered him greater inventive freedom. Although internationally known as a poet and a novelist he made his living as an artist. His paintings range from large-scale murals in public buildings, through oil to pen sketches, caricatures and collages.
It is Dedalus's intention to make available all of William Heinesen's novels in new translations by W. Glyn Jones. So far published are The Black Cauldron, The Lost Musicians, Windswept Dawn, The Good Hope, which won The Nordic Prize for Literature , and Mother Pleiades. In 2017 Dedalus will publish William Heinesen's last novel, The Tower at the Edge of the World and in 2018 Noatun.
William Heinesen is generally considered to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest, Scandinavian novelists of the twentieth century.lihat lebih sedikit
