Mr. Sammler's Planet

"Bellow has not only become a master of his own special idiom, that verbal impasto which mixes...racy-tough street Jewishness with high-flown intellectual display; he has also...set forth on a stubborn, uncertain quest for the cup of wisdom....Bellow is a man of high intelligence so that his generalized commentary is intrinsically absorbing, and...he has the rare gift of transforming dialectic into drama, causistry into comedy, so that one is steadily aware of the close relationship between his discursive passages and the central narrative.Bellow, Saul is the author of 'Mr. Sammler's Planet', published 1996 under ISBN 9780140189360 and ISBN 014018936X.
