Query: Puzzling Hamsun, mysterious Nagel.

"Mysteries" is the story of a bizarre man, John Nagel, who arrives at a little Norwegian town one summer's day. He decides to spend a couple of months there, apparently out of the blue, causing all sort of unexpected situations to the dull inhabitants of the village. Deep inside, he is a distressed, troublesome soul. A character that comes to be cherished by the reader, at times even pitiful.Again, Hamsun shows the grievance inherent to mankind through a singular man and his relationships with the people he happens to run into in this gloomy and forgettable town.Although at the beginning I could not easily find my way through this novel, I really enjoyed reading it. A book to be listened to, indeed, yet to a lesser extent than Hunger.
