Why does Knut Hamsun never get discussed here?

Also, he mailed his Nobel prize to Goebbels

A few days ago there was a thread about Pornografia. I contributed by suggesting that Ferdydurke is even better. Is this enough for you?

>mfw Anglos think Knut is pronounced 'newt'

Hamsun's a genius. Veeky Forums users don't mention him because they are memes that circlejerk each other over copies of pynchon/wallace/joyce they haven't read.

prepare for a deluge of /mu/ shitposters since fleet foxes has a new album coming out named after one of his characters from hunger.

The reason people don't talk about him is because, as you say, he is a genius. His stories are great and everyone loves him. It's the same reason we don't talk much about montaigne. It just ends up being a thread of fawning which can get boring fast.

Because he's not handsome

Because no one cares about Norwegians, Norway is a meme country

say that to my face fucker and not online and see what happens

thank god i'm leaving Veeky Forums for good.

The Long Ships has been a recurring meme on lit

Nah that user thought it was "nuht".
How's he supposed to know Norway was smart enough not to use silent K's

Not written by Hamsun fampai

>Why does [obscure author from irrelevant country] never get discussed here?

Gee, I wonder. Also I've seen several threads talking about Hunger.

t. burger xdddd

GOD

DAAAAAAAMMNNNNNNN

This is true. No one cares about Norway except Norwegians themselves.

>obscure author from an irrelevant country
>literally the first guy who used several techniques in his writing that other people adopted like the stream of consciousness that Joyce used and is considered one of the greatest writers of the 20th century

Ameriburger education.

Hamsun is my favourite writer. Is there anything in particular you would like to discuss?

>norway
>irrelevant

"le not usa, uk, la france, chine or canada, mexicoh must be not important haha :DD" t. burgerfag

Who influenced him?

Hunger has a happy ending.

Tried to read hunger. Self indulgent snooze-fest.

It's literally the fucking point of the book, you plebian fuck.

So he was only pretending to be retarded, is what you're saying?

Drunkard here. He's fucking obscure that's why.

>it's supposed to be bad :^)

What a success.

Most people dont like him, especially not norwegians. They consider him a traitor to their country

Swede here, they live in their own small bubble a really rich small bubble

That's a good question. I only know of Dostoevsky.

>Bad
Post your literary masterpiece then.
It's easy to criticise when you're a shut in pseudo intellectual sitting in your own filth, producing nothing worthwhile, isn't it?

These guys who are trashing hunger are pathetic. I am literally laughing at their lack of intelligence.

I'd nut on his hand, son if you know what I am saying here.

its pronounced Kuhnut

Just finished Hunger -- a good read. Some say the first modernist writer. Whatever one believes you can feel the characters pangs, time shifting realities, and borderline schizophrenia. Very enjoyable and highly recommended.

Because he's unanimously loved

lmao, I sure don't and I've never heard that sentiment spoken either. we consider him as one of our greatest despite the nazism (hiz nazi view is mentioned in an offhanded way nowadays).

thats my point. it sure is a comfy bubble though, can't complain.

>Favourite
Growth of the Soil

>Underrated
Victoria

>Overrated
Hunger (still great though)

No it's not

lol faen med rette raua som feis
