«Herzog» is the literary fiction novel by Saul Bellow, published by Penguin Classics in paperback (400 pages, in English).
When his wife leaves him for his best friend, Moses E. Herzog, a middle-aged university professor, faces a personal crisis. In solitude he writes letters he never sends and reviews his life, his failures and his ideas, with reflections on love, faith and identity. The novel combines psychological introspection with intellectual critique.
The novel was originally published in 1964 and won the National Book Award and the Formentor Prize for Literature in 1965. This Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition includes an introduction by Philip Roth.
A title for readers of American classics and literary fiction with a strong psychological component and epistolary register.
