Praise for Iris Murdoch and Under the Net "Murdoch, a philosophy don at Oxford, was that rarity, a philosophical novelist who could create real characters, not premises with names attached . . . Right out of the gate she displayed all her sinuous gifts–her questing mind, her comic skepticism, her wildly entangled plots." –
Time, "All-Time 100 Novels"
"
Under the Net announces the emergence of a brilliant talent." –
Times Literary Supplement "Of all the novelists that have made their bow since the war she seems to me to be the most remarkable-behind her books one feels a power of intellect quite exceptional in a novelist." –
Sunday Times "A dazzling story, light and comic in touch." –
The Times (London)
