Anyone thinking Hamsun is a one trick pony and read only Hunger should check out this book. Entirely different from Hunger, this bleak but achingly beautiful (it reads like a long prose poem) book discusses civilization versus wilderness with the character of the bizarre Lt. Glahn. A bitter epilogue adds a new angle to the narrative.
