Rezension:
By the Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature
Winner of the National Book Award in Fiction
"A feast of language, situations, characters, ironies, and a controlled moral intelligence . . . Bellow s rapport with his central character seems to me novel writing in the grand style of a Tolstoy subjective, complete, heroic." Chicago Tribune
"Herzog has the range, depth, intensity, verbal brilliance, and imaginative fullness the mind and heart which we may expect only of a novel that is unmistakably destined to last." Newsweek
"A masterpiece" The New York Times Book Review
