Hunger
by Knut Hamsun
A must-read for fans of modernist literature, "Famine" is a tour of literary power that was equally influenced by Dostoevsky and Zola, but which made the unique creative approach of the writer Knut Hamsun new. The novel details the nearly starving descent of a young intellectual and the downward spiral of misfortunes he encounters during his efforts to find food.
