Items related to Hunger
Hunger by Knut Hamsun is a strange, semi-delirious, gorgeous narrative of a young man who wanders the Norwegian urban milieu and spends most of his time starving and contemplating eccentric ways of obtaining food for a few coins.
The occasional income he gets from his writing is barely adequate to keep him alive, and between the bouts of hunger he hallucinates and imagines -- and sometimes engages in -- sensuality in all its forms. Food and sex and vivid creative daydreams, in combination with a peculiar personal pride, keep him on the fringes, apart from others. And yet, his need for nourishment in every sense, physical and emotional, is overwhelming.
Even though it was completed in 1890, Hunger is considered a psychological masterpiece of the early 20th century.

About the Author:

Review:
"Something new is happening here, some new thought about the nature of art is being proposed in "Hunger," An art that is indistinguishable from the life of the artist who makes it . . . an art that is the direct expression of the effort to express itself." --Paul Auster (from his introduction)"The whole modern school of fiction in the twentieth century stems from Hamsun. They were all Hansun's disciples: Thomas Mann and Arthur Schnitzler . . . and even such American writers as Fitzgerald and Hemingway." --Isaac Bashevis Singer"After reading "Hunger," one can easily understand why Hamsun was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. "Hunger "should appeal to any reader who is interested in a masterpiece by one of this century's great novelists." --James Goldwasser, "Detroit News"
