I think that when the topics are philosophical and in-depth it will be easier to follow when the video is longer and your pace is slower. The sceneries are breathtaking. In any way, your great effort and knowledge are greatly appreciated. Thank you.
I found out about Knut Hamsun through one of my favourite authors (perhaps my favourite), Charles Bukowski. I have to get me some John Fante and Celine as well! Your channel is the only "literary analysis" channel I like, or can even stand. Very deep analysis without any intellectual arrogance.
Thanks so much for this insightful video! I stumbled onto the Knut Hamsun book "Under The Autumn Star/The Wanderer Plays On Muted Strings" many years back, was instantly hooked, and tracked down everything else by him I could find, "Hunger" included of course. Recently I became aware of the British/American-expatriot singer Scott Walker,, who passed away in 2019. I became hooked on his music too, but have had problems getting similarly-inclined music enthusiasts to give his music a chance and a listen. A few days ago, I ran across a video interview with Scott where he stated "Knut Hamsun informed my sensibility, particularly the Knut Hamsun of Hunger." So at least in my mind, I feel empowered, and that much more grateful to you for putting this out there!
Thank you for the feedback. I’ll make a some longer videos and some shorter. Part of me thinks doesn’t matter how many people watches my videos because I enjoy making them but my other part wants more viewers.
I started reading Hunger this afternoon and thought his novel had been published a little more recently. It’s such an easy read and everything is so clear, I’m a big fan of Charles Bukowski and I had no idea he liked Knut Hamsun.
I think it was in my reading of Colin Wilson's book "The Outsider" that I first encountered Knut Hamsun--I'm almost certain of that, although it was decades ago. I read and reread most of KH's books over the years, and "Hunger" and "Growth of the Soil" left the strongest impressions on me. Colin Wilson's interest in outsiders and outsider thought and literature runs through all of his many books, especially "The Occult Trilogy," especially the first volume, "The Occult," and I recommend all of CW's aforementioned books. (Alexander Trocchi is another interesting outsider fictionalist, and his "Cain's Book" is a must-read for anyone studying the genre.) Edit: Hamsun's "Mysteries" also made a strong impression on me and my life when I read it.
Hearing English by an Asian but unable to understand what is being said is dangerous if the Asian is a doctor and you are the patient ! The narrator here is not Norwegian. The Swedes and Norwegians speak out language extremely well. Just wish we have our Norse doctors in the BUS 🙂

That’s an excellent suggestion. Thanks so much.
These are great, and you should definitely continue to make them! Subbed!
Thank you for your kind words.

It's a great novel. Thanks for sharing.
I am experimenting shorter videos. I would love to hear what you think.
I preffer the longer ones. The pace of these videos is a bit too frenetic.

Enjoyed this. Will check out the rest of your stuff.
Thank you! It’s a great novel.
Great author
Good analysis.
Glad you liked it.
It is hard to sum up the novel or the protagonist, but it seems like he would rather die than ask for help.
Thanks FB! Very good. But can you please speak a little slower?
Hearing English spoken by a Norwegian is odd. The emphases fall in strange places.
He isn't Norwegian
Hearing English by an Asian but unable to understand what is being said is dangerous if the Asian is a doctor and you are the patient !

Dostoevsky is full of power-paranoia... but if it's your cup of tea, have it.
Pog video
Thanks mate!
Ahahahaha
