Didn't even finish it. It's funny -- my last Bellow read was "Ravelstein," and one of the most glaring issues I took with that book was how little it dealt with issues of class/race, given how much the neighborhood of Hyde Park played a role in the narrative. "The Dean's December" does tackle these subjects, but in such a shitty way that I couldn't get swept up in the prose the way I usually do with Bellow novels. His politics are fucked.
