”Everything slowed down. I felt like an actor in a Finnish movie!” Thorvaldur Thorsteinsson surprises us again. This time, with an entertaining monologue in 71 stages disguised as a kind of speech given to larger gathering of friends, colleagues and family in connection with a delayed 60-year-old birthday party, a displaced 40-years anniversary and a final resignation reception as a senior employed in Warehouse Eyfjord & Sons. The narrator covers a lot of ground in the story about his colourful life – the dark and the light moments, Elvis, Sunday school, fathers, mothers and sisters; about ups and downs and about how he got into the business and became a solid retailer. Old school assignments are read and sung aloud, whilst the memories of a dramatic life entertain us. This story is told vividly, wittily and touchingly.
