These are the questions that confront Asa Leventhal one stifling night in a New York park when he meets the man who describes himself as Leventhal's victim. Leventhal can neither accept the accusation nor reject it. This is his dilemma, and we see him, a man pursued by his own guilt and obsessive relationships - guilt and relationships shared by everyone." A first printing of Nobel Prize-winner Saul Bellow's second novel, in worn dust jacket. ; 294 pages.
