Acknowledgements
Many people assisted in the writing of this book,
but special thanks go to Jenný Einarsdóttir of Ístak, Jóhann Kröyer
and Arnbjörg Jóhannsdóttir, and Arvid Thastum, a resident of
Kulusuk.
It should be mentioned that although some of the
characters in the book have the same names as some of my friends
and family members, their names are the only thing they have in
common.
