I really don't know what to think of this book
It is written extremely well, it has such style and tension. It is deeply psychological but also real and tangible.
I love the starving artist trait, a writer struggling for his daily bread and I love how literally Hamsun took this. The narrator with his morals and personality captivated me.
The book however was very uncomfortable, the narrator goes from euphoria to utter despair, a disturbing bleakness that is almost hard to read but impossible to put down.
It is a book I feel I could both 3, 4 or 5 too and be entirely justified in my decision so I opted for the middle of four. Although I don't think I will reread it anytime soon I will certainly remember it.
