Nineteenth-century Kristiania is an unforgiving place, and work is thin on the ground. Roaming the streets of Norway's capital, a penniless young writer searches for inspiration whilst trying desperately to make ends meet. Driven to extraordinary lengths, sleeping under the stars with his stomach growling, the writer's behaviour becomes increasingly irrational and his world spirals into chaos. Hunger was Knut Hamsun's first novel and earned him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1920. A disturbing and darkly humorous masterpiece of existential fiction, Hunger anticipated and influenced some of the twentieth century's most acclaimed writers including Camus, Kafka and Fante.

A Clocktower Press AnthologyTaking its name from the clock-tower of South Queensferry's town hall, where Duncan McLean worked as a janitor, Clocktower Press has - over the past seven years published some of the most challenging and important writing to come out of Britain since the war. Early drafts of Irvine Welsh's Trainspotting, James Kelman's How Late it Was, How Late, and Janice Galloway's Foreign Parts, appeared alongside stories by the best young Scottish authors: Gordon Legge, James Meek and Alan Warner.With Scottish fiction now acknowledged as the most exciting and influential being written in these islands, this anthology brings together some of the most influential of the original Clocktower publications as well as new pieces written specially for this collection. It is a fitting tribute to a publisher truly ahead of his time.

Our man takes it upon himself to confront the pervert but his interest in the Bunker Man gradually tilts from apprehension into vigilantism, then obsessed depravity...

Winner of the 1993 Somerset Maugham Award, this first collection of short stories reveals Scotland's seamier side: drinking with the soccer casuals in the old stone circle; stumbling bloody-footed along the cliff-top path at midnight; lost in a liver'n'onions-fuelled fantasy of sex and violence.
