The Man Who Loved Children: A Novel

â‚¬Å“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 didnâ‚¬t read the book so much as live it.â‚¬Â â‚¬"Jonathan Franzen, author of Freedom

The Man Who Loved Children is a brutally honest examination of domestic life and family. Sam and Henny Pollit have too muchâ‚¬"too much contempt for one another, too many children, too much strain under endless obligation. Flush with ego and a chilling domestic power, Sam torments his children, bending and manipulating their seemingly limitless love to his overbearing advantage, while Henny looks on desperately, Â all too aware of the madness at its root. A favorite novel of Jonathan Franzen and Randall Jarrell, among many others, The Man Who Loved Children stands as Christina Steadâ‚¬s masterwork.
