Herzog
by Saul BellowAbout This Book
Published in 1964, Herzog established Saul Bellow as one of the defining voices in literary fiction. Moses Herzog, a twice-divorced university professor in a state of emotional crisis, writes letters—to the living, the dead, the famous, the anonymous—in Bellow's finest and funniest novel. Herzog is simultaneously a portrait of male intellectual crisis and a meditation on the life of the mind in modern America. Themes of intellectual life, crisis, marriage run through the work. The book has received recognition from TIME 100 Best Novels 1964.
