How did Hamsun capture subjective experience in his writing?
My method was to plunge into the currents of sensation, the ebb and flow of feeling. I would follow the erratic pulse of the mind, letting the world unfold through the eyes of my characters, not as an objective observer, but as one immersed in their raw, immediate experience. *Hunger* is a testament to this, tracing the descent into a mind consumed by want. Nature, in its wild, untamed state, was my constant muse, a mirror reflecting the elemental forces within us. Nature knows no lies, only being.
