Ravelstein - (a novel)
Bellow, Saul"The magic still sparks and flashes on the page...Masterful in its thoroughness and intricacy...the prose rings as clearly as a meditation bell."-Roland Merullo, The Philadelphia Inquirer "This book rings with laughter and joy....Ravelstein is an extraordinary character...it is hard not to feel privileged at being allowed a glimpse into a human connection as intimate and rewarding as this one."-Jonathan Yardley, The Washington Post Book World "With his new novel, Saul Bellow proves that he still dominates. . . . Ravelstein is full of heart and wisdom, and I want to praise it without a pinch of qualification."-Sven Birkerts, Esquire "A cause for celebration...Bellow hugs the modern world hard in this novel...Ravelstein is rich, deep, and unnervingly entertaining."-Jonathan Wilson, The New York Times Book Review
