Elias Runi is well known to many as a cartoonist and illustrator, but here he presents a graphic story about finding oneself, as the book tells the story of Elias, a twenty-eight-year-old cartoonist who has never seen himself in a mirror. He embarks on a journey where he confronts shame, overcomes internalised prejudice, comes out of the closet, changes his name and learns to talk about himself in a new way.
The first time is a graphic novel about the joy of finding your place in your own body. The journey to that point is not without its struggles, but Elias illustrates how one can look in the mirror and see oneself for the first time. First Time is a story about the joy of finding your place in your own body.
The Advent in November brings us closer to Christmas step by step, one page at a time. We will have an author visiting us every Friday in November, where we will introduce exciting new books in the run-up to Christmas. On The Countdown, we shine a light on all sorts of works and enjoy the flora of Icelandic literature – and of course, it's wonderful to listen to a bit of literary genius and then pop over to the Christmas Village to get into the festive spirit!
