There is a fundamental root here that keeps me coming back to scenes within The Red Room(1879) by August Strindberg; no, I'm not saying it is plagiarism as such because Hunger(1890) goes the way of bleak insanity whilst The Red Room is more about social comment. To my mind there is no doubt that Hamsun's choice of The Red Room as the name for a small area at the back of the Oplandske Café(page 116) is to him, a joke that he maybe thought would not be discerned.
Anyone else feel slightly uncomfortable with this?
