By the Winner of the Nobel Prize in LiteratureWinner of the National Book Award in Fiction "A feast of language, situations, characters, ironies, and a controlled moral intelligence . . . Bellow's rapport with his central character seems to me novel writing in the grand style of a Tolstoy–subjective, complete, heroic." –
Chicago Tribune "Herzog has the range, depth, intensity, verbal brilliance, and imaginative fullness–the mind and heart–which we may expect only of a novel that is unmistakably destined to last." –
Newsweek "A masterpiece" –
