Date: October 10th, 2025 6:44 PM Author: Canary unholy temple Norway's post war government prosecuted literary lion Knut Hamsun for collaboration with the Nazis during the occupation. He was in his 90s at the time. while he was under house arrest and subjected to weeks of compulsory psychiatric examination at an oslo mental hospital, he wrote an account of the case and defense of his activities in the war. The account was published under the title, "on overgrown paths." It's an exceptional work by a nonagenarian.

Often it's individual episodes that are linked thematically with a shitton of individual character plot lines that often don't intersect.
