This. All these niggas going on about "inventing modernism" and "inventing stream of consciousness".
Isaac Singer called Hamsun "the father of the modern school of literature in his every aspect—his subjectiveness, his fragmentariness, his use of flashbacks, his lyricism. The whole modern school of fiction in the twentieth century stems from Hamsun". Ernest Hemingway stated that "Hamsun taught me to write".

Here's some pasta for you:
Hamsun argued that writers should describe the "whisper of blood, and the pleading of bone marrow". He is considered the leader of the Neo-Romantic revolt at the turn of the century, and is found to be one of the most influential and innovative literary stylists of the past hundred years. He pioneered psychological literature with techniques of stream of consciousness and interior monologue, and influenced authors such as Thomas Mann, Franz Kafka, Maxim Gorky, Stefan Zweig, Henry Miller, Hermann Hesse, and Ernest Hemingway.

Isaac Bashevis Singer called Hamsun "the father of the modern school of literature in his every aspect—his subjectiveness, his fragmentariness, his use of flashbacks, his lyricism. The whole modern school of fiction in the twentieth century stems from Hamsun". Ernest Hemingway stated that "Hamsun taught me to write".

The epic work Growth of the Soil (1917) earned him the Nobel Prize.


We also have "the great four", Bjørnson, Kielland, Lie, and Ibsen. Among our more prominent female writers, you'll find Skram, Undset and Collett to be the most internationally praised ones.
After a year or two of living in Norway, I recommend you check out Erlend Loe, he nails his satire on the scandinavian culture.
You'll also find a collection of icelandic/norwegian sagas in /Lit's sticky.

Hunger, Pan, Victoria, Mysteries, and Growth of the Soil are probably his best translated work.


Other than Hamsun, Henrik Ibsen, Jonas Lie, Alexander Kielland, and Bjørnstjerne Bjørnson are considered the "four great" of Norwegian literary realism.
Among our female writers, Sigrid Undset and Amalie Skram are probably the most prominent, and intentionally appreciated.

Of our contemporary writers, I myself find Erlend Loe to be rather intriguing. I won't go on about him as a character himself, but from what little I've read by him, he seems to camouflage some very striking satire and adult-leveled content, behind a somewhat child like appearance, and a naivistic style of writing. I'd say he wins when being read by a scandinavian, the satire might get lost on anyone else.
