Reviews

"""Gerald Sorin's volume is a wonderful addition to the body of criticism on Bellow. These are easily among the best readings of Bellow's fiction I have read, and the portrait of Bellow in this book will be essential reading for anyone interested in this great and currently neglected author.""--David Mikics, author of Bellow's People: How Saul Bellow Made Life Into Art"
