[lit-ideas] Re: TUESDAY'S FORCAST

I was a Hamsun fan during college, and for a while after. Then I heard about
some Nazi affiliation, and turned off. Stupid youth. In this film, as in
life, Hamsun meets our friend Adolf in a really funny scene. The film's too
long, but worth a viewing, I think. Btw, I still love _Hunger_. Recalls my
current fried state of brain function.
