Synopsis
In Saul Bellow's comic fable, Eugene Henderson, a discontented 55-year-old American millionaire, decides that money and all that it can buy is not enough. He travels to Africa, lives with an African tribe, and becomes a god to the people there when he convinces them he is able to make rain. Finally, knowing that his real gifts are as a healer, Henderson returns to the states to drastically change his life. Most of Bellow's novels are autobiographical, reaching into his own life and circle for plot and character, and in HENDERSON, the main character is reportedly based on a close friend--but Bellow has also claimed that, of all his creations, Henderson is the one most like himself.

Industry Reviews
"Bellow's aura of fable is constantly washed over by humor, impulsive creation, and actual, turbulent detail."
Burgess

"Brilliantly funny, all new, a second enormous emancipation, a book that wants to be serious and unserious at the same time (and is), a book that invites an academic reading while ridiculing such a reading and sending it up, a stunt of a book, but a sincere stunt--a screwball book, but not without great screwball authority."
New Yorker - Philip Roth (10/09/2000)
