Herzog, by Saul Bellow

Oh, I love this cover. When I read I often find myself thinking about a cover of the book. What would be the best way to illustrate in a single image the entire novel. Some illustrations are so good, I become jealous ;-)
Back to Saul Bellow... When I was in my twenties, he was on my reading list. That I remember so well. But I never had a chance. Maybe it was a good thing, because back then I would hardly be able to appreciate the subject and style as much as I do now. It is a slow read, not because it is difficult, but because YOU want to slow down: it is so good! In fact, I am taking breaks between reads to prolong the pleasure. Bravo, Saul Bellow!
