From the publisher:
Herzog is the story of Moses Herzog, great sufferer, joker and moaner, cuckold, charmer, a man of our time. Seeing himself as a survivor, of his private disasters but also those of the age, Herzog cannot keep from asking what he calls the “piercing” questions. The answers he finds will matter not only to him but to readers of Saul Bellow’s magnificent novel.
