Synopsis
An editor named Asa Leventhal is left alone in New York during a heat wave while his wife is away. He is accosted by a menacing and anti-Semitic man named Kirby Allbee, who angrily accuses him of ruining his life. Although he barely knows the man, Leventhal is haunted by him and comes to believe that Allbee must be telling the truth. In this chilling portrait of paranoia and mental decay, guilt and innocence--underappreciated when it was published in 1947--Saul Bellow has written a novel equal to his best books.

Industry Reviews
"THE VICTIM is Bellow's most Dostoevskian book. The plot is adapted form Dostoevsky's THE ETERNAL HUSBAND....THE VICTIM is within inches of joining BILLY BUDD in the first rank of American novellas."
New York Review of Books - J. M. Coetzee (05/27/2004)
