'Abe Ravelstein is the American mind and Bellow its finest living (thank God) voice' - John Sutherland, "Sunday Times". 'Bellow's return with "Ravelstein" to an earlier, freer, more voice-driven exuberance is an astonishment to me. I have to keep reminding myself that the author was born, not in 1950, but in 1915' - Martin Amis in "Experience". 'Full of the old, cascading power...His people are embodied with souls; they wear their stretched essences on their bodies, and it is Bellow's delight to, as it were, 'read' their souls through their surfaces, as a Victorian phrenologist might have read the skull' - James Wood, "Guardian". 'A late quartet by a master' - "The Telegraph".
