The Pirate

"An Icelandic-punk version of *Catcher in the Rye*." — ***Dallas Morning News*** "If there were more people like Jón Gnarr the world wouldn't be in such a mess."— **Oliver Sacks** The second book in a trilogy chronicling the troubled childhood of international sensation Jón Gnarr, *The Pirate* revisits his teenage years with sincere compassion and great humor: bullied relentlessly, Jón receives rebellious inner strength through the Sex Pistols and Prince Kropotkin—punk rock and anarchy offer the promise of a better and more exciting life. **Jón Gnarr**, the most famous comedic actor in Iceland, founded the Best Party, ran for mayor of Reykjavìk as a joke and won, and served as mayor of Reykjavìk 2010-2014, in the process becoming an international sensation and symbol of true alternatives to the political process worldwide.
