Handsome Is: Adventures With Saul Bellow: A Memoir

Rating:
Summary: No one defines "male" so clearly as Harriet Wasserman.
Review: Saul Bellow may be famous, may be genius, may be alot of other things, but in the end, he is just another stunningly selfish jerk who used a talented lady the way he used Kleenex. Never mind that without her he would just be another has-been hack writer. Wasserman's revenge is in letting the man reveal himself for who he truly is. You'll want to give her a standing ovation. You'll also have fun reading about how ordinary selfish jerks can win all sorts of prizes for writing and you'll end up hoping the Jackal who now represents Saul Bellow gets the kind of revenge HE deserves as well. Wasserman's writing style is a bonus.......spare, subtle, witty. Her silent sword hits the spot!
