Gnarr - Jon Gnarr
Following the collapse of the Icelandic banking system in 2008, comedian Jón Gnarr was inspired to invent a political party and run for mayor of Reykjavik. His proposals included free towels at public swimming pools, a polar bear for Reykjavik's zoo and a drug free Parliament by 2020. He decided to satirise the current political parties and instead promised voters that he wanted to make their lives more fun.
Upon election, Gnarr ruled out working with any coalition parties who had not seen all seasons of The Wire. In the elections, the Best Party emerged as the clear winner, with 34.7% of the vote. His government however was a success and he was soon working with regional leaders to tackle Reykjavik s problems.
In this entertaining memoir Gnarr recounts his experiences with admirable candour, describing his career, his visions and the mistakes he has made, while also sharing some lessons from his campaign and his time in office.
