Ólafur Jóhann Sigurðsson

This is an Icelandic name. The last name is patronymic, not a family name; this person is referred to by the given name Ólafur Jóhann.

Ólafur Jóhann Sigurðsson (26 September 1918 – 30 July 1988) was an Icelandic novelist, short story writer and poet.

His style was social realism.[1] His published works include five volumes of short stories, six novels, two short novels, four children's books and four collections of poetry. His writings have been translated into eighteen languages.

In 1976 Ólafur Jóhann was awarded the Nordic Council's Literature Prize for his poetry collections Að laufferjum (At the Leaf-Ferry) and Að brunnum (By the Spring). Two books of his work are available in English; the novella Pastor Bodvar's Letter (Bréf séra Böðvars) from Penumbra Press, and the short story collection The Stars of Constantinople from Louisiana State University Press.

Ólafur Jóhann Sigurðsson was the father of Ólafur Jóhann Ólafsson, also a novelist and a short story writer.
