Never quite falling into the abuss of suicide, Knut Hamsun's narrator/antihero veers wildly from a state of elation to black depression and back again as he stubbornly refuses to lower his aspirations to live exclusively from his earnings as a writer.

"Knut Hamsun's writing is magical, his sentences are glowing, he could write about anything and make it alive." --Karl Ove Knausgaard, The New York Times Book Review
"The whole modern school of fiction in the twentieth century stems from Hamsun." --Isaac Bashevis Singer
"The classic novel of humiliation, even beyond Dostoyevsky . . . Lyngstad's translation restores to the English-speaking reader one of the cold summits in modern prose literature." --George Steiner
With an introduction by Jo Nesbø and an Afterword by Paul Auster
