About “Mr. Sammler's Planet”
Mr. Sammler's Planet is a 1970 novel by Saul Bellow. Sammler, a New Yorker in his seventies and a refugee from Nazism, is a thinker of complex thoughts and a touchstone around whom a heterogeneous group revolves, serving as the prime mover of a many-sided novel that offers a tragi-comic commentary on twentieth-century urban life. Portions of the novel first appeared in the Atlantic.
Praise for “Mr. Sammler's Planet”
“Dazzling . . . [Bellow’s] entertaining and provocative howl of rage is a tour de force of disillusionment and disgust at the descent from high culture to barbarism.”
“The most important writer in English in the second half of the twentieth century . . . Bellow’s oeuvre is both timeless and ruthlessly contemporary.”
