Hunger
Author: Knut Hamsun
This powerful, autobiographical novel by a Nobel Prize-winning author made literary history when it was first published in 1890. A modern classic about a penniless, unemployed young writer, the book paints an unforgettable portrait of a man driven to the edge of self-destruction by forces beyond his control.

When you read this beautifully crafted yet simply written short novel, you are taken on a super-charged literary journey filled with psychological torment and rat-a-tat-tat stream-of-conscious inner dialogue that feverishly progresses the protagonist's actions. There is much to love in this little book, and I find rereading it from time to time reawakens some impish demon in myself.
