Description
'Humboldt’s Gift' — Saul Bellow Saul Bellow’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel follows Charlie Citrine, a successful writer whose career and personal life are beginning to unravel amid a difficult divorce, a troubled relationship and increasingly dubious friendships. At the centre of his reflections is Von Humboldt Fleisher, a gifted poet and former friend and mentor whose life has ended in disappointment and failure. Through their contrasting fortunes, Bellow explores the place of art, literature and intellectual life in a materialistic modern America, while blending philosophical reflection with sharp comedy and vivid characterisation.
