Description

Hunger is Knut Hamsun's breakthrough novel about a young writer's efforts to practice his craft while battling extreme poverty and loneliness. The novel, written from the perspective of a struggling writer living in the city of Christiania, near Oslo, Norway, established Hamsun's reputation as one of the most important writers of the twentieth century. Today, this pivotal and provocative work is acknowledged as a feat of powerful originality and a premier example of the psychological novel. Hamsun's stream-of-consciousness technique and use of interior monologue influenced writers such as James Joyce, Franz Kafka, Henry Miller, Hermann Hesse, and Ernest Hemingway.

Author Biography:

Knut Hamsun (1859-1952) was a Norwegian writer who was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1920. Hamsun's work shows variation with regard to consciousness, subject, perspective, and environment. He is considered to be one of the most influential and innovative literary stylists of the past hundred years. George Egerton (1859-1945) was born Mary Elizabeth Annie Dunne in Melbourne, Australia. She is better known by her pen name George Egerton under which she wrote short stories, novels, plays, and translations. Egerton is widely considered to be one of the most important writers in the late nineteenth century New Woman movement and a key exponent of early modernism in English language literature.
