Have just finished Ravelstein by Saul Bellow.
This is a glorious book, ostensibly the disjointed memories of an ageing writer for his academic friend.
It is also a book about ideas, the nature of ideas, and the pursuit of knowledge (especially self-knowledge).
"...there was no important subject I hadn't thought about."
Ravelstein is a monster, but on the whole a lovable monster.
