Hello everyone,
In this session we will be covering a book by a writer who's considered one of the most important and controversial writers of the 20th century, the Norwegian writer Knut Hamsun.

Knut has made literary history with his autobiographical novel 'Hunger' where he recounted the abject of poverty, hunger and despair.
The novel is about a young writer struggling to achieve self-discovery and its ultimate artistic expression.
The book probes the psychodynamics of alienation, obsession, and self-destruction, painting an unforgettable portrait of a man driven by forces beyond his control to the edge of the abyss.

In this session we will be covering the entirety of Hunger by Knut Hamsun Translated by Sverre Lyngstad
I expect you all to have finished this book before our session

And yeah I encourage you to join and read with us as we dive into an English translated Norwegian book!

Until then, take care
