Summary: another fine work by a master
Comment: Hamsun's narrators have a special way of loving life and The Last Joy's narrator is no exception. A man in his last years feels dearly that life is not for the likes of him but rather for the young, and tries to participate in their lives with serene dignity. He speaks rarely, observing things quietly to himself while a string-section of shifting minor chords carries the story's feelings from page to page. There is heart-brokenness and hope so intermingled that if life must go on then so it must and what more is there to say.
