Hamsun, Knut, 1859-1952.

Hunger Knut Hamsun - New York, A. A. Knopf, 1921. - 2 p.l., iii-xiii, 263 p. 20 cm.

A must-read for fans of modernist literature, Hunger is a literary tour de force that was influenced equally by Dostoyevsky and Zola but made new by author Knut Hamsun's unique creative approach. The novel details the descent into near-starvation of a young intellectual and the downward spiral of misadventures he encounters in the course of trying to find food.
