		Herzog also asks what the suffering of a cuckolded man is worth in relation to the collective sufferings of societies living in the shadow of Hiroshima and the Holocaust?
		However, Herzog's cure for his emotional problems is essentially a talking cure, a method pioneered by Freud in which the patient gives voice to his/her deepest anxieties.
		At one point, Herzog eulogizes his father, an ordinary man, by saying "his I had dignity." Opposed to the value of ordinariness and the common connections between people are the ideological arguments—marxism, existentialism, nihilism—of the age.

	Reeling: the Movie Review Show's review of Grizzly Man
		Herzog counters with what an incredible filmmaker he was becoming, citing happy accidents like friendly foxes sticking their snouts into Treadwell's lens and the repetitive takes Treadwell to ensure continuity in his eventual opus.
		Herzog could not gain the cooperation of Amie's friends or family and finds few images of her on Treadwell's tapes, the last scarily close to an unknown bear which may, in fact, have been her killer (her diary also noted a fear of the bears).
		Herzog also shows the wild mood swings that plagued Tim as he is shown in childlike wonder (“That’s a big bear!”), then challenging God for bringing a drought upon the land, prohibiting his bears from feeding on their principle source of food, salmon.

		In it Saul Bellow tells the tale of Moses E. Herzog, a tragically confused intellectual who suffers from the breakup of his second marriage, the general failure of his life and the specter of growing up Jewish in the middle part of the 20th century.
		In fact, Herzog never appears to me to be such an especially commendable good guy; he may not be as vicious as some of those he chooses to bring into his life, but he's pathalogically self-absorbed, which is bad enough.
		Herzog does not deliver the much greater depth of personal and human insight that Faulkner brings out.

		Herzog is described by Bellow as a “moralist.” An example of this is that Herzog feels guilty that he does not spend more time with his children.
		Another example of this is that the novel describes Herzog’s journey from the position of being obsessed with his ex-wife and blaming her for his suffering, to the new position of accepting personal responsibility.
		Through most of the novel, Herzog is painfully struggling to overcome his passion for her.

		While the novel is postwar in character, in its essence it presents the timeless struggle of one man coming to terms with a disordered life of suffering.
		Herzog strives, in a world of challenges both personal and intellectual, to be a survivor in the legacy of his ancestors.
		Herzog's reluctance to let go of old ideas (especially ones that hinge on the individual and one's emotions) and embrace those of the post-WWII period of globalization, forced contact, and shared communion looms as the root of his funk.

		The middle-aged Moses Herzog is a notable literary-historical academic, the father of two children from two failed marriages, and the lover of a string of exotic women.
		As Bellow himself has noted, Herzog is a man who, in the agony of suffering, finds himself to be his own most penetrating critic.
		Bellow has the capacity in his novels to cover the smallest timeframe - a matter of days, or even hours in some cases - and yet through the subtle interleaving of flashbacks, meditations and philosophical musings, cover a vast amount of intellectual and emotional ground.

	Herzog
		Herzog's essential problem, the one that affects him most acutely and exacerbates his intellectual confusion, is his relationship with women.
		Herzog begins his mental journey by critiquing his culture's valorization of pain and ends it by conceding to the value of it.
		It is Mitya's philosophy and strategies that Herzog uses to deal with his own violence and suffering, and to recognize that no one is alone, not the rejected lover, not the father who has lost the custody battle, and not even the tortured child.

		Herzog is filled with hatred towards her, but, strangely, it is an oddly amiable hatred.
		Bellow's novels are among the most satisfying reads; while difficult, they leave you with the feeling that you have eaten a large yet nonfilling meal, and while your stomach acknowledges that you've eaten a lot, you're still hungry for more.
		Herzog is a philosophical novel about a failed academic philosopher who can't help but search for the truth.

	GradeSaver: Herzog Essay: The Ethics of Suffering in Saul Bellow's Herzog
		Considering Valentine, Herzog remarks, "Valentine spoke as a man who had risen from terrible defeat, the survivor of suffering few could comprehendHe spoke of death majesticallythere was no other word for ithis eyes amazingly spirited, large, rich, keen, or, thought Herzog, like the broth of his soul, hot and shining" (61).
		Herzog admits that the source of Valentine's remarkable manner is the immense suffering he has endured, suffering hewn not only into his soul but his body as well, with his amputated leg and natively rough features.
		Herzog admits his acceptance of this ethic of suffering, "recogniz[ing] that under his own rules the man who had suffered more was more special" (62).

	Voice of the Turtle - Comrade of the Printer
		Herzog's search for order, reason and honesty is, in part, an attempt to reconcile himself to life in the world in which his ideals are largely absent and his concerns remain unaddressed.
		Herzog is not at ease with his emotional life, nor with the wider world around him, but as the novel ends he has, in part reconciled both into a bemused acceptance.
		Herzog is fragmented, but so is everybody else; his achievement is to both admit to this state, cease pretending to be whole, and then to see it as a positive step on a journey of knowledge.

		The problem for a writer who gets a TV or movie adaptation of a novel is that the result can overshadow everything else in their bibliography.
		The scale of the book is much larger than the film, the working out of the plot is less formulaic and the narrative is broken by a mass of documentary evidence, diagrams, newspaper reports, judicial minutes and so on, which lends a nice veneer of authenticity (c.f.

		It is the vampire’s function, in the novel, to upset the prevailing patterns of dualistic oppositions, but it is the function of the scientist, Van Helsing, and the group of men assisting him, to meet the challenge of the vampire and to conquer him.
		In Stoker’s novel, the central conflict is between Van Helsing and the vampire.
		Herzog observes the major conventions of the vampire genre as a whole (so often absent in the former film) but which of course first had to be developed and consolidated since Murnau’s day.

		A novel complex, compelling, absurd and realistic, Herzog became a classic almost as soon as it was published in 1964.
		Herzog is a philosophical novel about a failed academic philosopher who can't help but search for the truth.
		But as Herzog travels (and writes his zany letters), Bellow provides a spectrum of many characters who are both fully realized and who offer some choice to Herzog, which is somehow a reflection of, or parallel to, his own problems.

		Where Herzog passionately scribbles unbalanced letters to famous men, Thomas commits his musings, just as ineffectually, to his Book Against God, scraps of which are included in the novel.
		George Orwell once complained that in the first-person novel it was hard to disengage the thinking of the character from the mind of the author.
		It is not exactly a believer's novel, but it can be read as a eulogy of the father (upending the eulogy that Tom, self-absorbed as ever, mangles at the funeral)—and as a defense of primitive Christianity and a portrayal of the unhoused modern mind, including the author's own.

	"A Dutch Author Relishes the Spectacle - Forward.com"
		His novels are playful and quirky, but underneath their surfaces lurks a darkness, a sense of despair.
		However, the novel’s quirkiness detracts from the satire; it lures the reader away from the author’s wry perceptions of the persona of the modern Jewish writer.
		In both of these novels, he toys with the conventions of autobiography and memoir, writing fiction whose truth is continuously justified to the reader.

	The Swarm
		In fact, Herzog’s novel really focuses on the science angle: bee behavior, bee evolution, bee social order and the idea that this is a biological threat like a virus and must be fought like one.
		The scope of the novel is also much larger with the entire country at risk and the final showdown taking place in New York.
		The novel is a decent read, not a great one and is derailed by one of the most disappointing endings I have ever read.
