A glowing appraisal of Saul Bellow’s novel Herzog. The review frames Moses Herzog as a ravaged middle aged academic in breakdown.

The portrait tracks his two failed marriages, betrayal by his second wife, and a fragile health. It cites New York deterioration and a European tour as he seeks identity and friendship amidst chaos.
