As a Norwegian I've always felt like our literature stands out compared to the rest of it. Is it just me that is romanticizing my own culture or do you guys also agree?
To me, a lot of our literature can both be really dark (Tor Jonsson etc) and realistic (Amalie Skram, Bjornstjerne Bjornson), but also weird and quirky(Hamsun, Knausgård). Still there is this notable vibe when I am reading it. Anybody feel the same way?

I talked about 'Haugtussa' for the Norwegian exam, so maybe I'm exaggerating Arne Garborgs importance. But this guy was inspired quite a lot by Wagner and Nietzsche, and probably lots of other people. It has some social commentary, but to me the work is about overcoming (all kinds of) suffering.
'Bondestudentar' is a little similar to 'Sult' by Hamsun. Maybe start with it if you're interested. I will eventually read 'Sult' and 'Markens grode' again. Such cases.

I've bought Markens grode, but I am yet to read it, - going to read Mysterier before it, as I am trying to read his books chronologically

Henrik Ibsen is the only writer normies know about. Some hipsters know Knausgaard and Hamsun. That's about it.

I love Hamsun. He's what I wanted Dostoevsky to be, particularly with Mysteries.
