Novelist Henry Miller has said, Hamsun is the author I deliberately tried to imitate, obviously without success. Each, though passionately in love with the other, must pursue a separate destiny, until the barriers between them fall.

In VICTORIA, Knut Hamsun has fashioned a lovers' idyll which is both deceptively simple and as complex as the workings of the human psyche. ![]() ![]() Translated from the Norwegian by Oliver Stallybrass.
