[b:Hunger|32585|Hunger|Knut Hamsun|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1456243307s/32585.jpg|3135610] is a rambling, wandering stream of consciousness novel that is saved from being tedious by the sympathy it's hard not to feel for the narrator.
He stumbles around the streets of Kristiania, Norway (now Oslo), a literally starving writer who is desperate for a chance to sell his work. His constant misfortune, his dwindling faith, and his worsening state of mind turn him into a antihero that has earned comparisons to Dostoyevsky's Raskolnikov. Forced into a position where he must steal, cheat and lie in order to survive, he remains certain of his own righteousness throughout.
The struggle to maintain outward dignity and composure while he inwardly crumbles is hard to read. Unfortunately, the novel's style of random event after random event and purposeless wandering wasn't always to my liking.

mhmmm... ciekawe to było doświadczenie- czytanie tej książki. wcześniej ją zaczęłam i pamiętam, że wtedy bardzo mi się podobała. teraz też wywarła na mnie jako takie wrażenie, ale początek inaczej pamiętałam, zakończenie jakoś mnie nie usatysfakcjonowało...
dziwna to była książka.
