Man Who Loved Children

by Christina Stead

About this title: A critical and commercial failure on publication, this story of a dysfunctional family, with its colorful, larger-than-life father and its angry, doomed mother, was reissued in 1965. The introduction by Randall Jarrell brought it belatedly to public attention.

Note: This is a general synopsis. Each listing is described below.

"I read this book in grad school, but I've been thinking about it lately and decided to re-read it. It is so bleak that I doubt it would be published today. It's totally gruesome and unforgettable."
