>Hamsun had strong anti-English views, and openly supported Adolf Hitler and Nazi ideology. Due to his professed support for the German occupation of Norway, he was charged with treason after the war. In 1945 at the age of 86, the Nobel laureate novelist Knut Hamsun wrote an obituary of Adolf Hitler in the newspaper Aftenposten. Hamsun's eulogy to Hitler served as the collaborationist newspaper's feature article on Hitler's death.


>Adolf Hitler

>I'm not worthy to speak up for Adolf Hitler, and to any sentimental rousing his life and deeds do not invite.

>Hitler was a warrior, a warrior for humankind and a preacher of the gospel of justice for all nations. He was a reforming character of the highest order, and his historical fate was that he functioned in a time of unequaled brutality, which in the end failed him.

>Thus may the ordinary Western European look at Adolf Hitler. And we, his close followers, bow our heads at his death.

>Knut Hamsun
How come nobody told me Knut was so based?

Growth of the soil is fucking great. It's like all the chapters in Anna Karenina where Levin is hanging out with the farmer bros, turned into a full book. He was also a nazi apologist. How can one man be so based?

Anon I worked a full time finance job over the summer (still in school) and found that my free time was more productive and fulfilling than when I'm in school. Just schedule your time well and don't lapse into mindless shit when you get off work and you'll be fine. Creative types struggle with the idea of traditional work (for some reason I feel myself but do not understand) but it isn't a deathwish to you nor your creative spirits. Best of luck.

What a fucking chad

5 pages into Hunger and I'm already convinced he was a massive autist

I want to read something by each Nobel laureate (in literature obviously).
What do you think is the crowning achievement of your favorite nobel laureate?
