Il pianeta di Mr. Sammler

The book’s structure is quite unique, shifting between memories and present moments. I wonder if this was a deliberate decision to mirror the chaos of aging and memory.

The characters’ struggles felt so real but also quite stark and unsettling. How did others interpret Bellow’s depiction of societal change during that era?

The nuanced portrayal of Mr. Sammler's background and beliefs adds depth, but I’m curious about how others saw the integration of Jewish identity with broader societal issues.
