This book is dedicated to Reggie.

What is there left to be said about you, my friend?

You’re smart, and yet wilfully stupid. You’re good-looking, yet kind of ugly. You’ve got wonderful hair, yet you’re always wearing hats.

You’ve saved my life three times now – in contrast to the measly once that I’ve saved yours – and you’ve taught me more about Icelandic cuisine that I ever wanted to know (seriously dude – hákarl? Seriously?), but there is something that I’ve been meaning to tell you for years, but I’ve never found the right opportunity.

Remember that girl, your pen pal, back when we were kids? Remember how you kind of loved her?

That was me. Sorry, dude.

And from the nothing came the everything.
