Synopsis
City of Hunger captures a writer’s cold nights and the thin line between ambition and despair.
In this stark, intimate study, a solitary narrator moves through a city that never fully warms. The text follows a writer wrestling with a hard task: finishing an essay while the world outside keeps turning, and hunger—both literal and metaphorical—presses in from every doorway.
- A night of wandering streets, lamplight, and the pull of a deadline
- Inner monologue that weighs ambition against integrity
- Vivid glimpses of urban life and the private drama of a lone writer
- Tense press of time, weather, and the cold that seeps into thought

Product Description
Ten years ago a little book on Intellectual Life in the America of To-day appeared in Norway. The intense individuality of its (it must be admitted often wrong-headed) point of view aroused interest and curiosity as to its author. It was followed shortly by his first novel Suit (H unger ). It made a great sensation; was as the flash of some strange meteor, holding perhaps a menace to social life, across the firmament. It met with much adverse criticism ;indeed, it demanded some courage in those days to declare oneself an admirer of that dreadful Hamsun !T here was something mysterious, challenging something alike magnetic and repellent, in the mans personality, as in his work ;something that invoked opposition. He was an unknown quantity in the society and literature of his country.

Review
"Something new is happening here, some new thought about the nature of art is being proposed in "Hunger," An art that is indistinguishable from the life of the artist who makes it . . . an art that is the direct expression of the effort to express itself." --Paul Auster (from his introduction)"The whole modern school of fiction in the twentieth century stems from Hamsun. They were all Hansun's disciples: Thomas Mann and Arthur Schnitzler . . . and even such American writers as Fitzgerald and Hemingway." --Isaac Bashevis Singer"After reading "Hunger," one can easily understand why Hamsun was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature. "Hunger "should appeal to any reader who is interested in a masterpiece by one of this century's great novelists." --James Goldwasser, "Detroit News"
