EDITOR's NOTE. Also, in ADA Bellow's HERZOG is alluded to by an
unflattering annagram that I don't recall. In the library of an ocean
liner, I think.

I think if you look at Experience by Martin Amis it
has some details there. Also I seem to recall in
Boyd's biography that both VN & Vera Nabokov had only
negative things to say about Herzog by Saul Bellow.
