Let's not forget Bellow,
By M. E. L. (Maine) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Herzog (Penguin Great Books of the 20th Century) (Paperback)
With all the 'potato love' for Jonathan Franzen these days it makes me wonder if Americans have forgotten some of the great classics that paved the way for his 'prescient' prose. HERZOG is one such example. Mind you, I did get bogged down in some of Bellow's philosophical diatribes but all in all, a hilarious read and certainly a more interesting one than anything Mr. Franzen can conjure.

Moses Herzog is the quintessential protean man.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Herzog (Penguin Great Books of the 20th Century) (Paperback)
This is a great book--watch those changes from first to
third person within the same paragraph!
Check out Robert J. Lifton's "Protean Self" for a complete
analysis of how Moses Herzog is the quintessential protean
man. (Proteus was the Greek god who could change form to
suit his circumstances.)
