What are /lit/'s thoughts on this?

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 6 08:38:04 2017 No.10114150 It's (in a way) the epitome of modern literature. A man stumbling around a city, alone with his thoughts, desperate.

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 6 08:45:46 2017 No.10114171 >>10114139 Not my favourite by him but still GOAT On a related note, has anyone here read Hamsun's short fiction?

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 6 08:50:11 2017 No.10114185 >>10114139 Reminded me a lot of Dostoevsky his work, which is why I loved it.

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 6 17:12:53 2017 No.10115656 >>10114417 One of Kjell Askildsen's novellas really reminded me of Crime and Punishment. I guess you might be right

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 6 18:32:52 2017 No.10115908 >>10115656 Carl Lange? It felt more like Kafka's The Trial desu senpai.

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 6 18:38:28 2017 No.10115925 >>10114139 Masterpiece, but to me, slightly inferior to Pan and Mysteries. >>10114171 Yes. Siesta has some of his funniest work, the kind that actually made me bona fide love him. He has such a warm sense of humor.

>>	Anonymous Fri Oct 6 18:46:20 2017 No.10115943 >>10114139 truly amazing considering how undeveloped psychological novels were back then. the fragment about being able to reach truly humane thoughts only when you're suffering from hunger had me in tears
