In his mid-forties, Tommy Wilhelm 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 successgul father, without gainful employment, and at the end of his rope both financially and emotionally. During the course of a day, Wilhelm reviews his past mistakes and present confusions, sinking more deeply into despair--until a chance encounter grants him one glorious, illuminating moment of truth and understanding. Deftly interweaving humor and pathos, Saul Bellow evokes in the climactic events of one day the full drama of one man's search to affirm his own worth and humanity.
