Blood & Rain Episode 82: An Intro to Knut Hamsun

What this episode covers

Knut Hamsun is a forgotten writer whose importance is second only to Shakespeare when discussing the world of fiction. This is the first of many episodes on the magnificent writer of Norway who pioneered stream of consciousness literature and inspired Hemingway, Fitzgerald, and Sartre, as I look to become an amateur scholar on the man himself and his illustrious work.
