"Hunger" by Knut Hamsun

●  Audiobook
●  Norwegian author
●  Nobel Prize winner, 1920
●  Originally published in 1890
●  Review:  This novel is stark, emotionally evocative and on a primal level, terrifying.  If you dare, enter the psyche of the narrator, a writer, who waivers between abject poverty and death.  Suffer along with him as Hamsun's brilliant writing takes the reader to the brink of utter madness, sublime passion, and death by starvation.  In the end, what is the hunger for in addition to food?  You will have to suffer the throes of despair and humiliation of the protagonist to find out!
