A haunting masterpiece of modern literature that chronicles a starving artist's descent into paranoia and despair on the streets of Norway.
Described as "one of the most disturbing novels in existence" by Time Out, Hunger is the story of a Norwegian artist who wanders the streets, struggling on the edge of starvation. As hunger overtakes him, he slides inexorably into madness. The unnamed narrator recounts his descent in increasingly urgent and disjointed prose, losing his grip on reality.
Stemming from Hamsun's belief that literature should explore the mysterious workings of the human mind, Hunger is a landmark work that pointed the way toward a new kind of novel. It has influenced countless writers, from Thomas Mann and Arthur Schnitzler to Fitzgerald and Hemingway. This dark yet humorous classic showcases the Nobel Prize winner's mastery of psychological fiction and his pioneering role in modern world literature.
