'Knut Hamsun founded the modernist and postmodernist novel at once'
writes James Wood in his introduction to this seminal work by a
Nobel Prize-winning writer who has been recognised as one of the
greatest literary figures of the twentieth century. A young man
called John Nagel arrives to spend a summer in a small Norwegian
coastal town, a stranger in a loud yellow suit who begins to behave
very curiously. He shocks, bewilders and beguiles with his open
defiance and erratic self-revelations. Nagel's presence acts as a
catalyst for the hidden impulses, concealed thoughts and darker
instincts of the townsfolk. Cursed with the ability to understand
the human soul, especially his own, Nagel can foresee, but cannot
prevent, his own destruction.
