Running with Pirates has been reviewed by Heidi Maier for InReview magazine.
Maier writes,
In unravelling the life-long effects of events that occurred in his youth, the two narrative threads are deftly, richly written and expertly interwoven and interlinked by the older Gislason’s reflections on his younger self. ... While the trip is coloured by nostalgia for the past, Gislason never falters in recollecting and examining what was, never lapsing into overt or mawkish sentimentality. This is both to his credit and a fundamental part of what makes the telling of his story so enormously emotional. This is a writer who understands the power of language and the fallible, ever-evolving nature of the father-son bonds he is describing.
