Description
A young writer has his heart set on his aunt's large apartment. With this seemingly simple conceit, the characters of The Planetarium are set in orbit and a galaxy of argument, resentment, and bitterness erupts.
Telling the story from various points of view, Sarraute focuses below the surface, on the emotional lives of the characters in a way that surpasses even Virginia Woolf. Always deeply engaging, The Planetarium reveals the deep disparity between the way we see ourselves and the way others see us.

Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
The book has been praised for its unconventional narrative style and its ability to craft a story from seemingly trivial events, capturing the collective dream of literary giants like Flaubert and Joyce. Reviewers highlight Nathalie Sarraute's unique, probing writing style that navigates the complexity of her characters with a cautious yet revealing approach. It also offers a compelling depiction of the power dynamics within a family, focusing on a young man's manipulative attempts to overcome his overbearing relatives.
