PENGUIN MODERN CLASSICS : 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.
