{"product_id":"hunger-9781934169667","title":"Hunger","description":"Hunger by Knut Hamsun is a strange, semi-delirious, gorgeous narrative of a young man who wanders the Norwegian urban milieu and spends most of his time starving and contemplating eccentric ways of obtaining food for a few coins. \u003cp\u003e The occasional income he gets from his writing is barely adequate to keep him alive, and between the bouts of hunger he hallucinates and imagines -- and sometimes engages in -- sensuality in all its forms. Food and sex and vivid creative daydreams, in combination with a peculiar personal pride, keep him on the fringes, apart from others. And yet, his need for nourishment in every sense, physical and emotional, is overwhelming. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Even though it was completed in 1890, Hunger is considered a psychological masterpiece of the early 20th century.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Norilana Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50922273964306,"sku":"9781934169667","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_d600472c-f853-4737-b2aa-d7ddf6ec6f53.jpg?v=1770135516","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/hunger-9781934169667","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
