No, it was Van Noord or Riverbed or somebody.
Aside from the fact that it switches tenses constantly (like in the middle of paragraphs!), I'm so strangely compelled by "Growth of the Soil."

It's pretty mundane, but I feel like it still covers a lot of ground. The guy had a good grasp of how people work from the inside out.

I love Hamsun. He won the Nobel Prize for Growth of the Soil. I prefer Victoria ... nice tragic love story.
