More Die of Heartbreak | Related Titles
Most critics regarded The Dean's December (1982), Bellow's novel published immediately before this one, as a failure, and opinion is divided on whether Bellow regained his form with More Die of Heartbreak. The rambling, digressive first-person narrator and lack of direct action have been familiar features of Bellow's work since Herzog (1964; see separate entry), and some think that he has used this technique too many times; others regard such an approach as merely Bellow's way of telling a story and find the addition of humor in this novel refreshing.
