Description
Saul Bellow's Herzog is a deeply personal and philosophical novel that explores the inner workings of its protagonist's mind. After his wife leaves him for his best friend, Moses Herzog finds himself alone with his thoughts, struggling to come to terms with the catastrophes of modern life. As he navigates this emotional turmoil, Herzog turns to writing as a means of exorcising his demons and making sense of the world around him. In a series of frantic, unsent letters to friends, colleagues, and famous people, Herzog reveals the complexities of his mind and the innermost secrets of his troubled heart. This Penguin Modern Classics edition includes an introduction by Malcolm Bradbury, who praises Bellow's work as "spectacular" and notes that Herzog's voice is "the voice of a civilization".
