Ben Arabo

Ben Arabo (1973) grew up in Oyrareingir where he lives now. He has a degree in finance and has lived in the UK and Indonesia, where worked in the oil industry. The collection of short stories Tíðarhylkið is his literary debut and his writing is sharp and light.

The stories have an eerie atmosphere. The topics revolve around the emptiness of life, greed and materialism, life of luxury, envy and self-righteousness. Society is portrayed as cold and cynical with only one agenda: to abuse anyone and anything. The stories are captivating and they all have a twist.
