Publisher Comments:

Mr. Artur Sammler, Holocaust survivor, intellectual, and occasional lecturer at Columbia University in 1960s New York City, is a andldquo;registrar of madness,andrdquo; a refined and civilized being caught among people crazy with the promises of the future (moon landings, endless possibilities).and#160; His Cyclopean gaze reflects on the degradations of city life while looking deep into the sufferings of the human soul.and#160; andldquo;Sorry for all and sore at heart,andrdquo; he observes how greater luxury and leisure have only led to more human suffering. To Mr. Sammlerandmdash;who by the end of this ferociously unsentimental novel has found the compassionate consciousness necessary to bridge the gap between himself and his fellow beingsandmdash;a good life is one in which a person does what is andldquo;required of him.andrdquo; To know and to meet the andldquo;terms of the contractandrdquo; was as true a life as one could live.and#160; At its heart, this novel is quintessential Bellow: moral, urbane, sublimely humane.
