Saul Bellow
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 placed 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.
Saul Bellow (1915–2005), author of numerous novels, novellas, and stories, was the only novelist to receive three National Book Awards. He also received the Pulitzer Prize, the Nobel Prize in Literature, and the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters.

A moving novel. I feel sorry for the main character and want better for him. But I'm also a little frustrated by his lack of autonomy. This is a tale of modern man in distress. Suffering before enlightenment. No nobility in the suffering. Just sadness and confusion. Despair without the acceptance of Stoicism. Just existence through sorrow and frustration.
This book ends the only way it could have and it didn't end how I expected. Tears and Death at the end, but maybe not in the way that the reader will expect. Beautiful but harsh to define. I'll be thinking about this novel for a while.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?
I've always liked the way Bellow captures characters by their dress, their expressions, their manners, and this short novel has some good ones, starting with Tommy Wilhelm. But he places Wilhelm in a predicament and then leaves us hanging. When I read this decades ago, I thought it was moving. Listening to it now, I found it frustrating.What about Grover Gardner’s performance did you like?
Excellent as usual.A good character sketch -- a disappointing story
