Hunger 2
Flukes. It took me over a decade to get around to reading Hunger. During that decade plus period, I had walked into book stores on occasion casually looking for Hunger. I’d look for Knute Homson. Didn’t find it, of course, and leave. I was certain enough, for no strong reason, of the spelling of Hamsun that I felt safe in my assumption that the book was not at that store. I suppose I never actually looked up the author in a way that would have exposed the true spelling of his name. How many times have I walked out of a book store without Hunger when it was a few inches or feet away from me? How long ago would I have read that book?

I don’t know, but it’s “Knut”. I can’t tell if you’re playing with me, but either way I like it.
I thought the exact spelling of his name was KNUTE HOMSON. His first name could have been in bold as well. But that’s not what screwed me up for all these years. So yes, I was screwed up on both given name and surname.
I know where the Knute mistake come from, though: Knute Rockne.
Also, Michael looks incorrect to me. It should be Micheal. Which I suppose then it looks like it should be pronounced meesheel. I’ve had more than one email not send because of this one. Turned out the email was not broken.
