robinlm 's review for:
Henderson the Rain King
by Saul Bellow
Oh my. I was worried from the first few pages that this would be another story of a rich white guy with emotional problems, but this book was awesome. I don't know what takes a character from "annoying" to "endearing" but Henderson, with all his problems, falls smack in the heart of "endearing" territory.
This was such a good read. One of those books that is both deeply satisfying and irritatingly unsatisfying. I think good literature leaves you a little bit uncomfortable, while also providing a wide array of emotional and intellectual nuggets to chew on. I'll probably be thinking about this for a while.
