Gnarr: How I Became the Mayor of a Large City in Iceland and Changed the World [Idioma Inglés] - Hardcover

"Jón Gnarr, the greatest accident in politics...Integral to Gnarr's ethos was the idea that politics is a crap job, just like any other crap job - so we all have the right to become involved just because we feel like it."
--New Statesman (UK)

"It should have been a disaster. Gnarr had no background in politics...While rival politicians ruthlessly went for him...voters were by and large charmed."
--the Guardian's G2 magazine (UK)

"Gnarr! is an entertaining reflection on life, politics, and human nature by an original and creative individual...It's a tribute to, and manifesto for, participatory democracy in the 21st century. And above all, it's a call for us all to be nicer to each other."
--PopMatters

"I love the mayor of Iceland."
--Lady Gaga

"Certainly my favorite mayor. No competition, in fact."
--Noam Chomsky

"Jón Gnarr has given the mayor profession a new human earnesty with radical stand-up style, and has chiseled away the stagnancy in that post with explosive humor."
--Björk
