HUNGER
Knut Hamsun: Sult | Hunger (1890)
“Knut Hamsun’s writing is magical, his sentences are glowing, he could write about anything and make it alive.” —Karl Ove Knausgaard, The New York Times Book Review
“The whole modern school of fiction in the twentieth century stems from Hamsun.” —Isaac Bashevis Singer
With this stylistically radical, revolutionary masterpiece the 30-year-old Knut Hamsun made his literary breakthrough. Absolutely worth reading - but only in the original version, as the author, who became increasingly reactionary and fascist in his old age, bowdlerized and spoiled his work in later versions.
