Description
Story of Moses Herzog, a great sufferer, joker, moaner, and charmer. Although his life steadily disintegrates around him, he has failed as a writer and teacher, as a father, and has lost the affection of his wife to his best find, Herzog sees himself as a survivor, both of his private disasters and those of the age.
