Knox and Knuts
Henrik Pontoppidan is an answer to the same pub quiz question as Knut Hamsun. He is also the specialist subject of former Swedish Academician Knut Ahnlund, who resigned after the award of the Nobel prize to Elfriede Jelinek. When pressed, he said he didn't think much of Pinter either.
I am concerned that he might turn into the Nobel's answer to Moira Knox, an Edinburgh councillor who would be reliably disgusted at performances on the Edinburgh Fringe. She did get wise to it in the end.

Shelving
I have found my copy of Victoria. It is a poor thing of 112 pp, printed on 55 gsm Snowbulk paper and loses easily. Perhaps they don't have trees in Norway.
