Saul Bellow
The most optimistic book I have ever read. Bellow is an incredible writer!

A profound, mesmerizing and beautiful dissection of the intellectual and personal lives of Moses Herzog, the archetypal, autobiographical "suffering joker" who populated Bellow's novels.

A poignant story about the relationship between father and son – Bellow captures the filial relationship with great depth; he shows the strengths and weakness of such a union.

Bellow was simply writing out of his head on the high wire of modern prose, letting it all hang out. He was the Harry Houdini of the Great American novel: sensuous, exuberant, mesmerising: writing from the heart of Paris from memory, inventing as he went along, tipping his hat to forbears like Twain and Whitman, combining the styles of Lawrence and Joyce, gaining depth from his readings of Dreiser and Dostoevsky for realism and psychological darkness.
