Definitely a novel of thoughts; read it some time back in my course. But even though the haziness with which I remember the central plot and its offshoots clouds my perception about the work, I would say Bellow's themes beautifully reflect that which we call ‘the modern' human being.
A need to resolve for a re-read. Sure.
