Saul Bellow
Of all the American-Jewish writers who have poured forth their creative efforts in the goldene medina, none has achieved more recognition from his literary peers than Saul Bellow. Born in Quebec in 1915, raised in Montreal and Chicago, he received a trilingual heritage of Yiddish, English, and French. Trained as an anthropologist at Northwestern and Chicago universities, he taught creative writing at Princeton before being appointed to the Committee on Social Thought at the University of Chicago. There he has made his home, and his most august works stem from that midwestern locus. To name one book from his oeuvre would be to diminish the richness and plenitude of his literary contributions. From the publication of the Dangling Man (1944) and then The Victim (1947), an unsentimental and sometimes self-incriminating study of anti-Semitism, it was patent that his lofty goals would be achieved. More works followed that indicated Bellow's gift for understanding and describing the acute condition of humanity. From Chicago (Adventures of Augie March, 1953) to Africa (Henderson the Rain King, 1959) Bellow explored the themes of alienation, loneliness, and man's bewildering quest for knowledge and spiritual discernment. Herzog (1964) seemed to update the story of Sholom Aleichem's querulous but still God-fearing character, Tevye, in the New World. Moses Herzog, a professor, tries to relate his age-old Jewish concerns for intellectal and spiritual understanding to a world gone out of control. It is his inner life, revealed in the novel's parentheses, that makes this novel so compelling.

Saul Bellow
Ravelstein
un lungo dialogo, intramezzato da riflessioni, considerazioni, note sui temi in discussione e sulle vicende descritte da Chick Sensibilissimo all'abbigliamento estroso e raffinato nello stesso tempo, del tutto indifferente al denaro che spende senza alcuna remora

Un evento aveva trasformato la sua vita: la pubblicazione di un libro sulla crisi del pensiero liberale, su pressante sollecitazione dello stesso amico Chick
Circondato da belle donne, ragazzi intelligenti e affascinanti, oggetti preziosi e buona cucina aveva trascorso in animate conversazioni di filosofia, economia, estetica e politica molte ore delle sue giornate

Saul Bellow
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Saul Bellow (born June 10 ), acclaimed North American-Jewish writer, won the Nobel prize for literature in 1976 and is best known for writing novels which investigate isolation, spiritual dissociation and the possibilities of human awakening. While on a Guggenheim fellowship in Paris , he wrote most of his best-known novel, The Adventures of Augie March After his parents emigrated from St. Petersburg, he was born in Lachine, Quebec and then schooled in the United States. Bellow has taught at the University of Minnesota New York University Princeton , the University of Chicago and Boston University . He currently (March, 2004) is University Professor and Professor of English at Boston University. Bellow received his undergraduate degree not in English, but in Anthropology at the University of Chicago. It has been suggested that the study of Anthropology has had an interesting influence on his literary style. Although not as widely acclaimed as some of his novels, Bellow's later works include the powerful and well-crafted collection of short stories entitled ' Him with His Foot in His Mouth '. Bellow's story lines are led by the personal quests and crises of his protagonists rather than by action. Our introduction to a Bellow protagonist is often at a point of deep crisis in the character's life. Whether romantic, financial or sparked by other causes, the turmoil experienced by a typical Bellow protagonist leads to deep existential questioning. Bellow artfully manages to reference the teachings of great philosophers and thinkers within many of his novels, usually without damaging their readibility or disrupting story flow. One remarkable example of this technique is seen within '

Saul Bellow
The most successful Jewish American writer may be the most ambivalent as well.
Reprinted with permission from Jewish American Literature: A Norton Anthology "This spare old man," as Saul Bellow recalls the Hebrew writer S. Y. Agnon in Jerusalem, "asked me if any of my books had been translated into Hebrew. If they had not been, I had better see to it immediately, because, he said, they would survive only in the Holy Tongue." But what about Heinrich Heine's imperishable German? "Ah," said Agnon, "we have him beautifully translated into Hebrew. He is safe." Bellow's account then turns to Isaac Babel, whose stories he calls "characteristically Jewish" though "written in Russian by a man who knew Yiddish well enough to have written them in that language." It's not that Bellow, in post‑Holocaust America, had the option to write in a Jewish language, whether Hebrew or Yiddish. What's at issue is a vital, viable identity for Jewish fiction in the Diaspora Although the marks of this identity are too variegated, too dispersed, to be found fully in any single writer, Saul Bellow has often seemed to epitomize them. His heroes all suffer, Robert Alter points out, from "humanitis," as in Bellow's play

B C D ... Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Saul Bellow (1915-) American author, winner of the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1976. Bellow is among the major representatives of Jewish-American writers. His works have widely influenced American literature after World War II. Among Bellow's most famous characters are Augie March, Moses E. Herzog, Arthur Sammler, and Charlie Citrine - a superb gallery of self-doubting, funny, charming, disillusioned, neurotic, and intelligent observers of the modern American way of life. "There are times when I need to ride in the subway at rush hour or sit in a crowded movie house-that's what I mean by a humanity bath. As cattle must have salt to lick, I sometimes crave physical contact." (from Ravelstein Saul Bellow was born in Lachine, Quebec. His parents had emigrated from Russia to Canada in 1913. Bellow was raised until the age of nine in an impoverished, polyglot section of Montreal, full of Russians, Poles, Ukrainians, Greeks, and Italians. After his father was beaten - he was a bootlegger - the family moved in 1924 to Chicago. Although Bellow is not considered an autobiographical writer, his Canadian birth is dealt with in his first novel, THE DANGLING MAN (1944), and his Jewish heritage and his several divorces are shared by many of his characters. The death of Bellow's mother, when he was 17, was a deep emotional shock for him. In 1933 Bellow entered the University of Chicago, but transferred to Northwestern University, where he studied anthropology and sociology and graduated in 1937. As friendly advice, the English-department chairman told Bellow to forget his plans to study the language: "No Jew could really grasp the tradition of English literature."

, novelist. In 1984, when Bellow returned to his hometown of Lachine, Quebec, and spoke at a ceremony in his honor, the mayor described him as "le plus grand écrivain de notre epoque"—a claim that few would dispute. The only American writer ever to win three National Book Awards, the Pulitzer Prize, and the Nobel Prize (1976), Bellow stands in a line of succession to William Faulkner and Ernest Hemingway, both Nobel laureates and, in their own idiosyncratic ways, representatives of the American realist tradition. What distinguishes Bellow from these predecessors is the international character of his fiction: he is the first American to incorporate the great nineteenth-century European realists in his work. An heir of Isaac Babel and Isaac Bashevis Singer as well as of his fellow Chicagoan Theodore Dreiser, Bellow is unique—a Jewish-American writer who has transcended both identities and become a figure in world literature. Born in Lachine to Russian immigrants, Bellow was nine when his family moved to Chicago. After graduating from Northwestern University in 1937, he studied for a semester at the University of Wisconsin before returning to Chicago. There he found employment with the New Deal Federal Writers' Project, compiling biographies of midwestern novelists and poets. In the early forties he taught at Pestalozzi-Froebel Teachers College in Chicago and in 1943 went to work for Mortimer Adler, indexing ideas for Adler's

http://www.english.upenn.edu/~afilreis/50s/bellow-on-ellison.html
"Man Underground"
Review of Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man
by Saul Bellow
published in Commentary (June 1952) (pp. 608-610) A few years ago, in an otherwise dreary and better forgotten number of Horizon devoted to a louse-up of life in the United States, I read with great excitement an episode from Invisible Man . It described a free-for-all of blindfolded Negro boys at a stag party of the leading citizens of a small Southern town. Before being blindfolded the boys are made to stare at a naked white woman; then they are herded into the ring, and, after the battle royal, one of the fighters, his mouth full of blood, is called upon to give his high school valedictorian's address. As he stands under the lights of the noisy room, the citizens rib him and make him repeat himself; an accidental reference to equality nearly ruins him, but everything ends well and he receives a handsome briefcase containing a scholarship to a Negro college. Invisible Man , those pages, for instance, in which an incestuous Negro farmer tells his tale to a white New England philanthropist, comes through very powerfully; it is tragi-comic, poetic, the tone of the very strongest sort of creative intelligence. In a time of specialized intelligences, modern imaginative writers make the effort to maintain themselves as unspecialists, and their quest is for a true middle-of-consciousness for everyone. What language is it that we can all speak, and what is it that we can all recognize, burn at, weep over, what is the stature we can without exaggeration claim for ourselves; what is the main address of consciousness?
