A review by annepw
Herzog by Saul Bellow

4.0

"Herzog" is a revelation. From the first page I was texting all my bookish friends imploring them to read it. It's not flawless in the way, say, "Lolita" is but Bellow is a magnificent, almost schizophrenic writer here, and his fragmented, ineffectual main character is rivetingly damaged. Everyone is Herzog, a little bit. This book is devastating and essential.
