Review Quotes: By the Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature
"Though Bellow grew up in Chicago, his portrayals of New York are masterful. . . . Humboldt's Gift [is a] barbed portrait of dreamers and artists and lives made between commerce and culture; years before I had a play on Broadway, Bellow's novel conveyed the visceral texture of the experience in ways that turned out to be exactly right." --Ayad Akhtar, Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, in The New York Times
