Saul Bellow's Herzog is part confessional, part exorcism, and a wholly unique
achievement in postmodern fiction.
Is Moses Herzog losing his mind? His formidable wife Madeleine has left him for
his best friend, and Herzog is left alone with his whirling thoughts - yet he
still sees himself as a survivor, raging against private disasters and the
myriad catastrophes of the modern age. In a crumbling house which he shares with
rats, his head buzzing with ideas, he writes frantic, unsent letters to friends
and enemies, colleagues and famous people, the living and the dead, revealing
the spectacular workings of his labyrinthine mind and the innermost secrets of
his troubled heart.
