Herzog by Saul Bellow.
Retreating to a neglected house in the Berkshires, Moses Herzog tries to regain his balance by writing letters to the people who occupy his thoughts. Saul Bellow makes a mind's restless attempts at explanation the center of the story.
The novel asks whether thinking can rescue a person from disorder or become another way of remaining inside it. Attend to the distance between the eloquence of an argument and the practical demands of living.
