Herzog (Penguin Classics)
Moses Herzog writes letters he never sends to everyone he's ever known, creating a one-man correspondence course in human failure and redemption. Bellow builds this character like a jazz improvisation - rambling, brilliant, heartbreaking, essential. The man falls apart with such intelligence it becomes a form of wisdom. For readers who've ever felt simultaneously too smart and too stupid for the world, who understand that thinking too much can be its own form of suffering. Philip Roth's introduction provides the perfect entry point.
