Description
The title for this month is Humboldt's Gift by Saul Bellow.
Middle-aged author Charlie Citrine has to choose between being true to his creative spirit or using his art to turn a profit.
More: Charlie Citrine, a middle-aged author, contemplates the vastly differing philosophies of two significant figures in his life: Von Humboldt Fleishe, a dead poet who was his mentor and taught him to be true to his creative spirit, and Rinaldo Cantabile, a very-much-alive mafioso and Charlie's self-appointed financial adviser, who urges Charlie to use his art to turn a profit.
