DESCRIPTION
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.
REVIEWS

4.5
Here is a story of a family in the early twentieth century, full of all the complexity of a family: good intentions and love, self-interest and hubris, spite and hate. The external world’s influences and demands swirl among the members, but in the end they are the family that they are. Gender, age, and social roles of the time period are accepted, rejected and explored. The story is compelling and the characters are vivid—it would make a great short series.
