With his highly acclaimed trilogy, Trolls' Cathedral (1992), Potter's Field (1996) and Winter Journey (1999), he has earned a place among the major realists in Icelandic letters. Trolls' Cathedral was nominated for the Icelandic Literary Prize in 1992 as well as the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award in 1996. An adaption for the stage premiered at The National Theatre in 1996. Gunnarsson received the Icelandic Literary Prize for his novel, The Ax and the Earth, in 2004.
