Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. Murdoch, Iris. The message to the planet. First edition. London: Chatto & Windus, 1989. Hardback, VG, in unclipped dustjacket with very minor shelfwear. Green cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Binding strong. 563pp. Light tanning to edges of page block. Contents clean and bright. Reaction to the novel was mixed, both by contemporary reviewers and by later critics and scholars. Anatole Broyard, an admirer of Murdoch's novels, wrote that after reading it "I still don't know whether it is a great novel, a merely interesting one, or an unclassifiable pandemonium". Another reviewer remarked that anyone "seeking an untroubled read and pat answers should seek them elsewhere". In his study of Iris Murdoch's fiction, Peter Conradi wrote that The Message to the Planet was a "lesser" novel, inferior to its predecessor The Philosopher's Pupil, but with some memorable scenes. On the other hand, Suguna Ramanathan calls it "an extraordinary achievement" and "of all her 24 novels, the largest in scope and most powerful in thrust".
