Saul Bellow's first book since Herzog. Won the National Book Award, the main character Mr. Sammler is considered one of the most memorable characters in fiction today. "...mixes vernacular richness with mandarin eloquence, racy tough-street Jewishness with high-flown intellectual display.."

A Holocaust survivor confronts life in postwar America... very powerful.
