Fabulous novella. Not only does the main character regret the decisions he's made in his life, but he finds no sympathy from his family, either. He's on the verge of tears throughout the whole story, and you know it's coming, and you know it's going to be heartbreaking.

Typical Sardonic Saul Bellow style...a quick read.

A classic.

Well written, but more of a character study than anything else. I expected more, so was disappointed. My first Bellow, so perhaps I don't have a sense of this work as part of the oeuvre yet...
