After 800 years, the final installment of The Edda Trilogy at long last arrived. Picking up where its medieval forebears, The Poetic Edda and The Prose Edda, left off, The Impudent Edda not only introduces readers to a fresh, new perspective on both familiar and previously unknown narratives of Norse mythology, but also brings the world’s foremost epic fantasy trilogy to its inevitable and fateful conclusion: in an alleyway behind a dive bar in South Boston.

Based on one of McSweeney’s Internet Tendency‘s longest-running (and unequivocally least popular) columns, Norse History for Bostonians, Norse Mythology for Bostonians: A Transcription of the Impudent Edda has been highly unanticipated, but was released on January 29, 2020 anyway.
