Knut Hamsun (1859–1952) was a Norwegian author and Nobel laureate whose debut novel Sult (Hunger, 1890) pioneered stream-of-consciousness narration and influenced writers including Kafka, Henry Miller, and Isaac Bashevis Singer. He is considered one of the most significant voices in twentieth-century European literature.
