  THE MAN WHO LOVED CHILDREN is a bleakly comic masterpiece and one of the least-read great novels of the twentieth century. 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 becomes a geyser of rage against her improvident husband. And, caught in the midst of it all, is Louisa, Sam's watchful eleven-year-old daughter.
