Got a kick just now from a review on NPR of Saul Bellow Letters, by Rebecca Newberger Goldstein. She quoted one of my favorite lines from the book,
“and then a nice police dog chained to a parking meter, wearing a cast on his broken leg and barking. He may have been asking to see the humanity in relation to which he was supposed to be a dog.”
I quoted the line in my review in the Forward.
Listen to Goldstein here.
