Publisher's Synopsis

Revealing the subtleties of human experience and interaction, the five short stories in this selection represent Saul Bellow at the peak of his richly comic narrative powers. In 'What Kind of Day Did You Have?' an apology is made 35 years late; 'TheThinker Prince' tells the story of a suburban woman and her famous intellectual lover; 'Zetland: By a Character Witness' is a colourful portrait of an East European Jew transplanted to America.
