Mehso-so

I read this book only because I never read Hamsun yet and he won the Noble Price so I thought I should. This book is about a very unsympathetic man, a hunter in Norway. He uses the women he meets , he behaves stupid and he talks so childish. I have no clue what to think now that I‘m finished.

Suet624 I think you were pretty clear about what you think. 🤣🤣 2y
Daisey I‘ve read a couple of his for the 1001 list and appreciated Growth of the Soil the most. 2y
BarbaraBB @Daisey I thought this one was on the list too but unfortunately it isn‘t! 2y
BarbaraBB @Suet624 The man won the Noble Price. I must be too stupid to see what he meant. The beauty, the depth 😉 2y

Knut Hamsun: Nobel laureate, forefather of Modernism, Nazi sympathizer. I've got a question weighing on my mind. Is there a spectrum of toleration for disgusting (political, sexual, social, etc.) behavior on the part of artists? Is there anyone's work due for a reassessment of its place in schools or the wider public because of its creator's actions?

TrishB Good question. I ask myself a lot these days. 6y

The other one he loved like a slave, like a madman and like a beggar. Why? Ask the dust on the road and the falling leaves, ask the mysterious God of life; for no one knows such things. She gave him nothing, no nothing did she give him and yet he thanked her. She said: Give me your peace and your reason! And he was only sorry she did not ask for his life.

50%. My third Hamsun book, and as always, I'm swept away by the strange and ethereal images that he creates. Credits should be given to the translator. It's my first time to read a Lyngstad translation, and I think I must reread Hunger to compare his translation from Robert Bly's.
