"One of the most disturbing novels in existence" (Time Out)

"An excellent new translation . . . this Hunger deserves to be the standard English version" (Times Literary Supplement)

"Hamsun has the qualities that belong to the very great, a complete omniscience on human nature" (Rebecca West)

"Disturbing and difficult as this nightmarish novel is, it is a work of imaginative brilliance that resonates in our own day" (Herald) --Observer

"Hunger is undoubtedly one of the most important novels of the modern age. At last it has found a translator capable of doing justice to its immense power and complexity: Lyngstad's deserves to become the standard English version" (Duncan McClean) --Duncan McClean

"Hunger was published in 1890 and its power has not faded" (London Review of Books) --London Review of Books
