  • Reception

    Zuckerman Bound met with great acclaim upon publication. In The New York Times Book Review critic Harold Bloom wrote "'Zuckerman Bound' merits something reasonably close to the highest level of esthetic praise for tragicomedy, partly because as a formal totality it becomes much more than the sum of its parts."
