520    Spanning eras, continents, genres, Codex 1962—twenty
       years in the making—is Sjón's epic three-part 
       masterpieceOver the course of four dazzling novels 
       translated into dozens of languages, Sjón has earned 
       a global reputation as one of the world's most interesting
       writers. But what the world has never been able to read is
       his great trilogy of novels, known collectively as CoDex 
       1962—now finally complete.Josef Löwe, the 
       narrator, was born in 1962—the same year, the same 
       moment even, as Sjón. Josef's story, however, 
       stretches back decades in the form of Leo Löwe&
       #8212;a Jewish fugitive during World War II who has an 
       affair with a maid in a German inn; together, they form a 
       baby from a piece of clay. If the first volume is a love 
       story, the second is a crime story: Löwe arrives in 
       Iceland with the clay-baby inside a hatbox, only to be 
       embroiled in a murder mystery—but by the end of the 
       volume, his clay son has come to life. And in the final 
       volume, set in present-day Reykjavik, Josef's story 
       becomes science fiction as he crosses paths with the 
       outlandish CEO of a biotech company (based closely on 
       reality) who brings the story of genetics and genesis full
       circle. But the future, according to Sjón, is not so 
       dark as it seems.In CoDex 1962, Sjón has woven 
       ancient and modern material with folklore and cosmic myths
       into a singular masterpiece—encompassing genre 
       fiction, theology, expressionist film, comic strips, 
       fortean studies, genetics, and, of course, the rich 
       tradition of Icelandic storytelling.
