Editorial Reviews:

Review:

"'The Loved One' is a novel that represents America as savagery, and American death practices as a classic example of that savagery. The hero comes back to his ancient and comfortable shore, then writes out of savagery."

Malcolm Bradbury, Literary Review, August 1995

Review:

"[A] thoroughly horrible and fiendishly entertaining book....Rarely in fiction have such execrably bad taste and such cruel wit been combined in one short satirical novel....Its humors are ghoulish and its hyena laughter snarls obscenely."

New York Times, 1948
