this is a great, dynamic read. the protagonist is real and believeable even if his past and contacts are somewhat incredible. bellow's man is sympathetic yet juvenile and self-centered simultaneously. and there is humboldt, the "benfactor". this book is somewhat along the lines of "the big lebowski". the situations the reader is taken through are strange and funny. i do think it lacked something, though not quite sure what.
