The Dean's December by Saul Bellow

The Dean's December by Saul Bellow

Winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature Racist, traitor, or fool? College dean in Chicago, Albert Corde stands accused.

Pilloried by the media for publishing scathing articles exposing local corruption, Corde has also embroiled himself in the trial of two blacks accused of killing a white student.

Now in Bucharest, supporting his wife as her mother lies dying, Corde has time to make harsh comparisons between the Communist tyranny and the whirling, rotting cityscapes of Chicago.

He's waiting for the verdict of the Chicago trial... and it's a bleak December on the other side of the Iron Curtain.
