Description: "... [A] middle-aged American millionaire who, seeking a new, more rewarding life, descends upon an African tribe. Henderson's awesome feats of strength and his unbridled passion for life win him the admiration of the tribe--but it is his gift for making rain that turns him from mere hero into messiah. A hilarious, often ribald story, Henderson the rain king is also a profound look at the forces that drive a man through life"--
Review Quotes: By the Winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature
"A kind of wildly delirious dream made real by the force of Bellow's rollicking prose and the offbeat inventiveness of his language."-- Chicago Tribune
