The Dean's December (Penguin Great Books of the 20th Century)

by Saul Bellow

The Dean's December (Penguin Great Books of the 20th Century) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Albert Corde, dean of a Chicago college, is unprepared for the violent response to his expose of city corruption. Accused of betraying his city, as well as being a racist, he journeys to Bucharest, where his mother-in-law lies dying, only to find corruption rife in the Communist capital. Switching back and forth between the two cities, The Dean's December represents Bellow's "most spirited resistance to the forces of our time" (Malcolm Bradbury).
