Your Satisfaction is Guaranteed:
"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."
Irving Howe, Harper's, 2/70
Review:"The triumph of MR. SAMMLER'S PLANET is the invention of Sammler, with the credentials that accrue to him through his European education...as 'the registrar of madness.' The juxtaposition of the personal plight of the protagonist with the particulars of the social forces he encounters, the resounding, ironic rightness of that juxtaposition, accounts for the impact here, as it does in every memorable fiction."
Philip Roth, New Yorker, 10/09/2000
