...anti-Semite in which the Jew turns out to be as much persecutor as victim. This first succes d'estime was followed by the book that made Bellow a popular success as well: The Adventures of Augie March, a picaresque tale of a Jewish Huck Finn who bounces about the U.S. and Mexico sampling and quickly tiring of all manner of jobs, creeds and persons. But Augie sacrificed the dramatic tension of The Victim and rambled. Bellow's sub sequent novel, Henderson the Rain King, rambled even more; and in Herzog the tension has snapped completely...
...plot is little more than a string of vignettes revolving around the characters of Huck, his drunken father, and Jim, the runaway slave. The role of Huck is sung in a reedy voice by towheaded, freckle-faced Franz Elkins, a 14-year-old Austrian TV actor who won the part over several singers from the Vienna Boys Choir partly because of his prowess at tree climbing.

The resulting picture of U.S. boys and girls in grades seven through twelve (roughly age twelve through 17) is calculated to gladden a merchandiser's heart and strain the family's charge account at the drug store.

Spain and then rapidly reprinted all over the Continent. Readers rich and poor were troubled by the author's smiling horror of Renaissance society, but they were also tickled by the scarum scrapes and earthy humor of his hero, a perky little picaro (scalawag) who became the Huck Finn of his century. Aleman, Cervantes, Lesage, Defoe and Fielding were inspired to imitation, and today Lazarillo is acclaimed as the prototype of the picaresque novel, as a handsel of the arriving era of realism in European literature...
