The novel, for which Bellow won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1976, is a self-described `comic book about death,` whose title character is modeled on the self-destructive lyric poet Delmore Schwartz. Charlie Citrine, an intellectual, middle-aged author of award-winning biographies and plays, contemplates two significant figures and philosophies in his life: Von Humboldt Fleisher, a dead poet who had been his mentor, and Rinaldo Cantabile, a very-much-alive minor mafioso who has been the bane of Humboldt`s existence. Humboldt had taught Charlie that art is powerful and that one should be true to one`s own creative spirit. Rinaldo, Charlie`s self-appointed financial adviser, has always urged Charlie to use his art to turn a profit. At the novel`s end, Charlie has managed to set his own course.
