Under The Net (Vintage Classics Murdoch Series) Summary

Under The Net (Vintage Classics Murdoch Series) by Iris Murdoch

This is real life, Jake,' she said. 'You'd better wake up.'

Jake is clever, lazy and scraping by in London as a hack translator. Jake loves Anna. Anna is an elusive and lovely singer. Anna loves Hugo. Hugo is a fireworks manufacturer turned movie producer and majestic philosopher. Hugo loves Sadie. Sadie is a glossy and dazzling film starlet. Of course, Sadie loves Jake. Then there's Marvellous Mister Mars, the famous hound, who might or might not be Jake's ticket up and out of this mess.

WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY CHARLOTTE MENDELSON

Under The Net (Vintage Classics Murdoch Series) Reviews

Under the Net announces the emergence of a brilliant talent * Times Literary Supplement *
A dazzling story, light and comic in touch * The Times *
This is a comedy with that touch of ferocity about it which makes for excitement -- Elizabeth Jane Howard
I was drawn to the intellectual speculation and psychological depth of Murdoch's writing, and the experience of reading her brought the realisation that, for me, thinking would always be the greater part of reading -- Aminatta Forna
