Hanna Astrup Larsen traces Knut Hamsun from his peasant roots in Gudbrandsdalen through years of drifting and hardship, including time in America, to the novels that made him famous. She reads his books through three figures, the wanderer, the poet and the citizen, and closes with a list of his works.
