Review title: A disappointing book -- I expected better from Saul Bellow.
Product review: This slender novel -- really just an extended character sketch -- presents a morose, self-pitying loser gazing into his navel. There is almost nothing else worth reading here. I give it two stars rather than one only because Bellow is obviously a serious writer.
