Jónas Sen has written about music, culture, memory and personal experience for more than thirty years.

His writing includes music criticism, essays, autobiographical fragments, biographical work and more personal literary texts. His book Þá er ástæða til að hlæja is a biography of the Icelandic pianist Halldór Haraldsson, but also reflects Jónas’s long engagement with musicians, artistic life and the inner world of performance.

This section gathers selected writings, books, essays and related material. Some texts are in Icelandic, others may be presented in English or with English context where appropriate.

The archive will be expanded gradually.
