About this product

Product Information

With an Introduction by Randall Jarrell. Sam and Henny Pollit have too many children, too little money, and too much loathing for each other. As Sam uses the children's adoration to feed his own voracious ego, Henny watches in bleak despair, knowing the bitter reality that lies just below his mad visions. A chilling novel of family life, the relations between parents and children, husbands and wives, The Man Who Loved Children, is acknowledged as a contemporary classic.

"This crazy, gorgeous family novel is one of the great literary achievements of the twentieth century. I carry it in my head the way I carry childhood memories; the scenes are of such precise horror and comedy that I feel I didn't read the book so much as live it." -- Jonathan Franzen, author of The Corrections "A story of life, faithfully plotted, clearly told, largely peopled with real souls, genuine problems; it is realistically set, its intention and drive are openly and fully revealed; it is also a work of absolute originality." -- Elizabeth Hardwick "It must be a classic, for there are very few novels in English that are as large and as beautifully written." -- Robert Lowell "One of the best novels of this century." -- Walter Clemons, Newsweek, "This crazy, gorgeous family novel is one of the great literary achievements of the twentieth century.
