Book Reviews of Hunger: A Novel
Book Review: "Sult" beskriver Oslo godt, men ikke helt!
Summary: 4 Stars
In 1985, after starting to learn Norwegian and while preparing to live for a semester near Oslo, I asked a good friend what I should read (beyond Snorre, the sagas, folk tales, Peer Gynt, etc) to get a better feel for Norway. She recommended Sult (Hunger), Skipper Worse, and something else. Having spent many moons walking around in Oslo since that time, I can report that Sult describes very well the feeling of isolation that one can easily experience there, a Munchian existence that goes well with "Skreiken". That's only one side of the story, however. Sult does not describe the friendship offered by Norwegian people once one comes into a circle of friends! Still: required reading for anyone who wants to 'understand' Norway.
