InQ Episode 72: "Hunger"

In this first person narration, the main character, whose name
the reader never gets to discover, struggles with hunger.


As his stomach remains empty, his head fills with delusions,
inner monologues and streams of consciousness that lead the
reader to wonder whether or not the narrator is sane. The
question remains as to whether the hunger is the cause or the
consequence of the narrator’s delusional state.


Focusing mainly on social interactions and personal
dilemmas, Hunger is a psychological novel in the same vein
as Dostoevsky’s The Double, albeit not as dark..


A must-read for anyone interested in the inner mechanisms of the
human mind
