Juraj Kušnierik

(1964)

He is deputy editor of the magazine .týždeň, where he leads the cultural news. He prefers writing (and talking) about music and literature. He also has his program about books and literature at the Slovak  Radio_FM. He is often invited as a moderator (but also as a debater) in public debates, traditionally he is a stage manager of one stage at Festival Pohoda in Trencin. He lives in Bratislava, is happily married and has one adult daughter. A few years ago he found a passion. It's called Iceland. So he started to go there often, to meet many interesting people and now it is time to share the fascination of this tiny Nordic country with others. The result is a book written with a passion, which only true love can bring.
Juraj Kušnierik´s book Music of the island is a great declaration of love - to Iceland, its people and its music. Part travelogue, part personal diary, part musical history - experienced firsthand. Meetings with artists, walks at interesting places and meeting something in our latitudes entirely absent - generosity of one man to another. It is fascinating too. Who plans to go to Iceland, especially to its capital, or is fan of Icelandic music, should certainly not exclude Juraj´s book. And who didn´t plan to go to Iceland, after this book will definitely start to think about it!
