Wikipedia page on this work: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hunger_(Hamsun_novel) Eric Eldred, Robert Connal, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team “Hunger” by Knut Hamsun is a novel written in the late 19th century that explores the themes of existentialism and the struggle for identity amidst poverty and despair. The narrative follows the protagonist, an unnamed writer in Christiania (now Oslo), as he grapples with the dual forces of ambition and starvation in a society that seems indifferent to his plight. The opening of the novel introduces us to the protagonist as he lies awake in a cramped attic room, reflecting on his dire situation and the personal demons that accompany his hunger. He has become a figure of desperation, attempting to maintain a semblance of dignity while scavenging for food and work, often encountering rejection and isolation. As he navigates the streets, he contemplates his failed aspirations as a writer, continually battling with his hunger and the inner turmoil that accompanies it. This striking portrayal of a man's intellectual and existential struggles sets the stage for a deeply introspective journey that questions the very nature of existence and human desire.
