Nor is it his talent for exposing the innards of character in a paragraph, a sentence, a phrase. It is Bellow s vision, his uncanny ability to seize the moment and to see beyond it. \"Chicago Sun-Times\" \u003cbr\u003e Fading charmer Tommy Wilhelm has reached his day of reckoning and is scared. In his forties, he still retains a boyish impetuousness that has brought him to the brink of chaos: He is separated from his wife and children, at odds with his vain, successful father, failed in his acting career (a Hollywood agent once cast him as the type that loses the girl ), and in a financial mess. In the course of one climactic day he reviews his past mistakes and spiritual malaise, until a mysterious philosophizing con man grants him a glorious, illuminating moment of truth and understanding, and offers him one last hope . \u003cbr\u003e This Penguin Classics edition contains an introduction by Cynthia Ozick. \u003cbr\u003eFor more than seventy years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world.
