Hunger by Knut Hamsun

poischiche31's review against another edition

Trying to learn more about what life might’ve been like for my Norwegian ancestors before they immigrated to the US. 
Pretty harrowing account of hunger and poverty. Reminds me of my blessings and how lucky I am to not want for food, shelter, or any basic human necessities.

Down horrendously. This is a book that should be read across the world; it’s relevance in contemporary society in the U.S. especially is loud and clear.
