A review by murphyc1
Herzog by Saul Bellow

4.0

I found it to be a bit of slog at times, but Herzog (the novel and its eponymous protagonist) might well represent the most convincing evocation of a living--and thinking-- human being that I have ever encountered in fiction. It is a wondrous thing, to find oneself so deeply inbedded within another person's consciousness. That is the gift of an experience that Saul Bellow offers readers with his National Book Award-winning novel, Herzog.
