Seeing himself as a survivor, of his private disasters but also those of the age, Herzog cannot keep from asking what he calls the "piercing" questions. The answers he finds will matter not only to him but to readers of Saul Bellow's magnificent novel. "Saul Bellow has written his most brilliant book in Herzog. It is profound as well as 'personal'; the intelligence in it is dazzling. Bellow ha lifrted agonizing material to the heights of the most liberating perception." - Alfred Kazin $5.50USD
