The Victim: Saul Bellow

Leventhal is a natural victim; a man uncertain of himself, never free from the nagging suspicion that the other guy may be right. So when he meets a down-at-heel stranger in the park one day and finds himself being accused of ruining the man`s life, he half believes it. He can`t shake the man loose, can`t stop himself becoming trapped in a mire of self doubt, can`t help becoming ... a victim.
