![]() ![]() Hamsun's writing, however, is another matter. He betrayed both his country and more importantly humanity in general and deserves every bit of the scorn that's been heaped upon him. With 1890's Hunger, Hamsun unleashed the first in a series of novels that anticipated everything from the terrifying absurdities of Kafka to the desiccated ennui of the existentialists and even Charles Bukowski's autobiographical explorations.ĭespite this, Hamsun is a writer who today is shunned by much of the literary establishment, not because his writing has lost any of its lustre, I'd argue, but because of his far-right political views, which came to a head during the second world war with his open support of Hitler and Norway's post-invasion Nazi puppet government. I'd take this further and say that he's the father of postmodern literature as well. ![]() ![]() Isaac Bashevis Singer famously called Norwegian writer Knut Hamsun the father of modern literature. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Moon (Paranormal, novella, omegaverse, wolf shifters)īreaking the Stallion (Hell Bent for Leather Book 1) by Rain Carrington (Contemporary, rancher MC, D/s, hurt/comfort, pony play, humiliation kinkmc with ADHD) Jilted and Judged: A MLM Omegaverse Novel with Inner Wolf Dialogues by S.

What starts off in the viscera-rich world of the gory EC comics of the ’50s morphs into a subtle exploration of memory, as the monster of the book’s title escapes from the lab, treks to his childhood home and listens to ghosts re-enact the tragedy of his youth for over 100 pages.

Well, in the novel, Jake actually crosses paths with Bev Marsh and Richie Tozier, shortly after they had defeated Pennywise in It. Now, throughout Jake’s time in Derry, he feels a dark presence, which suggests that he’s there during the events of It, and in It, Beverly’s father is possessed (or at least “influenced”) by Pennywise, and is suddenly very abusive with her. Other times, the references serve as clues, helping the reader understand the complicated rules of King’s world and discover more about previously underdeveloped elements. Many times, characters from previous novels appear, and sometimes their arcs are necessarily contingent upon the events of their previous book. Most of the time, he accomplishes this just by having his stories take place in the same fictional small towns of Derry and Castle Rock, but it’s not as superficial of a connection as Quentin Tarantino’s Red Apple cigarettes. For the majority of his career, King has worked to create a single connected universe in which all of his books take place. ![]() ![]() The Bay Area has received historic amounts of rain in the past three months.

Travelling (in-)between “the transitional space” (Winnicott, 1971) as engendered by the gap be- tween the novel's overt narrative and Lily Briscoe's canvas, it seeks to venture into the unwritten psychic space separated from the novel's oedipalized landscape. Bearing in mind the psychological significance it held for Woolf, this paper seeks to draw attention to Lily Briscoe's canvas as the novel's psychic space as the entrance into the implicit, unthought known (Bollas, 1987) within Lily Briscoe's subjectivity as echoing that of Woolf's own.
