A CRITICAL SENSATION
The
Vi~tiiD
"It would have been enough
if
Saul Bellow's
second book had been merely as good as his
first, Dangling Man, and how fine it is to
discover that it, The Victim, is much better.
On the basis of these two novels it would be
hard to think of any young writer who has
a better chance than Bellow
to
become the
redeeming novelist of his period.."
-ELIZABETH HARDWICK,
Partisan Review
"A compelling and important book that ought
to place Bellow squarely in the literary pic–
ture of our day."
-ROBERT PENN WARREN,
Chicago Daily News
