For ten points, so goes the experience of the starving artist narrator of this Knut Hamsun novel.
At one point in this novel, the narrator sees a policeman, and notes that his badge number is 69, a figure which strikes him as "gruesomely exact." Earlier, he starts up a bullshit conversation with an old man about J.A. Happolati and his daughter Ylyali, growing enraged when the man believes him. At the beginning of the novel, he is alarmed by the sight of a one-toothed woman whose "eyes were full of sausage." The nameless narrator spends the entire novel trying to get money back from people like Hans Pauli, hocking various possessions, and trying to get articles published in the city of Christiania.
