A review by abroadwell
Herzog by Saul Bellow

5.0

This was brilliant, through and through. I've resisted a lot of the "mid-century masters" of American literature due to my distaste for the overt sexism/homophobia of some of the prominent writers of the period (e.g. Normal Mailer, John Updike).

But my resistance melted away as I listened to the sublime prose of Saul Bellow. Moses Herzog is one of the great characters of literature -- so prolix, so brilliant, so fucked-up!
