To fellow writer Ian McEwan, the work of Saul Bellow is “the embodiment of an American vision of plurality? It will be some time before we have the full measure of Saul Bellow’s achievement? And most vivid of all, for me at least, Moses Herzog. Bellow’s most achieved dreamer” (Guardian). For this “intense revelation of the life and experiences of a middle-aged Jewish intellectual,” Nobel laureate Bellow won the National Book Award (Hart 65).

Only slightest rubbing to extremities of bright beautiful dust jacket. A fine copy.
