	Artist of Skepticism
		Knut Hamsun's rise to international renown in the first decades of the twentieth century was eclipsed by his fatal alliance with the Nazi cause in the final years of his long life, an act of misplaced nationalism rather than ideological affinity.
		Hamsun was not yet three years old when he made the journey into a magical land that was to awaken in him a sympathy to nature that equaled if never quite supplanted his preoccupation with human psychology.
		Hamsun replied at once, proclaiming Zahl "a rare and generous spirit of the most superior sort" and laying his "ardent gratitude [before Zahl's] throne." This unlikely transaction for a sum perhaps three times Hamsun's annual earnings stands as one of those enigmatic moments when destiny seems determined to have its way.

	Jens Bjorneboe: Knut Hamsun's Centennial
		Hamsun was the first person shameless enough to wait so long to leave our vale of tears that his death occurred practically on the eve of his hundredth birthday.
		The story of what happened to Hamsun in his old age is too well-known and too dismal to rake up; it was a tragic and wholly clear consequence of a genius's misrelation to a self-satisfied and intellectually democratic age, and it showed up a people's unworthiness and immaturity in the glare of floodlights.
		Hamsun carried out his own destiny with the same genius with which he wrote his books; the civic humiliation of the last years was the final fabulous capstone to his work.

		Hamsun is not concerned with social issues but with the mental activity and bizarre actions of his unique, tormented hero.
		Hamsun himself settled finally with his family on a large farm in southern Norway but spent much time away from it, writing novels which exhort others to return to the soil.
		The most famous of Hamsun's later novels, Growth of the Soil (1917), is the monumental story of a man--the opposite in every respect of Hamsun's early heroes--who comes to the wilderness and carves out a farm with his bare hands, working in harmony, rather than in competition, with nature.

	Hamsun
		Hamsun was already in his early 70s when Hitler seized power in Germany in 1933 and he continued to support the dictator throughout the war, even writing a respectful obituary for him in 1945.
		Hamsun has a lot of intrinsic interest for the Scandinavian audience, dealing as it does with one of the region's greatest and most troubling artists.
		It helps a great deal, however, that Hamsun is played by Max Von Sydow, who gives a brilliant performance, shading the character in such a way that mere villainy is out of the question; this Hamsun is confused, arrogant, passionate and naive by turns, a not quite sympathetic but certainly comprehensible human being.

		Hamsun fokuserte på romanfigurenes sjeleliv og skildret det irrasjonelle, spontane og underbevisste i deres reaksjonsmønster.
		Hamsun møtte Marie Andersen i 1909, og hun ble hans livsledsagerske livet ut. Marie, som var en ung og lovende skuespillerinne da hun traff Hamsun, avbrøt sin karriere for å følge sin mann.

	Hamsun -- review by Stephen Holden
		To Hamsun, British imperialism was a world-destroying evil force, and he argued passionately in editorials and speeches that Britain must be crushed at all costs.
		After the war, instead of being jailed for treason, Hamsun is sent to a mental hospital where he is examined by a psychiatrist (Erik Hivju) and as part of his treatment is shown movies of the Nazi concentration camps that leave him weeping and shaken.
		Ultimately Hamsun is tried for his crimes and fined $80,000 for "economic collaboration." Testifying in his own defense, he babbles on about how his vision of a "new Norway" made him "ecstatic" and pleads weakly, "Nobody told me what I was writing was wrong." He insists he has made peace with himself.

	washingtonpost.com: 'Hamsun'
		Hamsun, the aging Nobel Prize winner (played with the usual masterful, ashen presence by Max Von Sydow) became an embarrassingly staunch supporter -- a sort of aging Scandanavian posterboy -- of the Nazis.
		But the central story, which begins in 1935 and covers the last 17 years of Hamsun’s life, is about Hamsun’s essential flaw: his inability to understand Hitler’s maniacal and antisemitic agenda.
		Although the movie spends considerable time studying his reactions, ravings and musings, and invests much time with Hamsun’s long-suffering wife (the assured Ghita Norby), who was obliged to play supportive spouse to a tyrant, it stays surprisingly constricted and remote.

		Knut Hamsun (1859-1952) was born in Lom, Norway, and grew up in poverty in Hamarøy in Nordland.

	LRB \| James Wood : Addicted to Unpredictability (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Hamsun's novels of this period, and in particular Hunger, are deliberate perversions of the Christian system of reward and punishment, confession and absolution, pride and humility.
		Hamsun shows us that, just as his hero invents his sins and therefore his punishments for those sins, so he also invents his relations with God: 'you do not exist, but if you did exist I would curse you.' Religion is neurasthenic fantasy in Hamsun.
		Hamsun's Nazism has been acutely analysed by Robert Ferguson, and is ably shaded in by Harald Næss and James McFarlane in their connecting notes.
