http://lfa.atu.edu/Brucker/Bellow.html

Extractions: Saul Bellow In Nobel Prize Winners in Literature 1988. Born : Lachine, Canada: June 10, 1915 A novelist who rejects the orthodoxy of modernism, Bellow's work is distinguished by his humanistic concern for character and his clear-sighted analysis of contemporary society. The Award Presentation The Nobel Prize for Literature was presented to Saul Bellow on December 10, 1976, by King Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden. The Swedish Academy's presentation emphasized Bellow's contribution to contemporary fiction and his continued development as a writer. Identifying two stages In Bellow's career, the Academy praised his early novels for breaking away from the harshness of naturalism and his later novels for their thought-provoking expansiveness. Bellow's early novels offered an alternative to reductive naturalism by adopting a confessional style and reasserting the centrality of character. In particular, the Academy noted Bellow's role in helping to create the "anti-hero of the present." Bellow's anti-heroes are beset by all of the well known alienating forces of the modern world, but they nevertheless manage to maintain a life-affirming dignity. They embody a courageous struggle to gain "a foothold in our tottering world." Their courage derives, in part, from their refusal to abandon the idea that life's essential value is not quantifiable. Their intuitive refusal to accept alienation complements their humanistic belief that men are responsible for one another. The Academy indicated that Bellow built on this literary foundation in his later work by extending the scope of his writing. Bellow's mature novels, which the Academy identified as "something quite, new" in contemporary fiction, were described as an exciting mixture of picaresque adventure, subtle cultural analysis, comedy, tragedy, and meditative philosophy. Throughout. Its presentation the Academy emphasized the intellectual vitality of Bellow's fiction, referring to its "exuberant Ideas, flashing irony, hilarious comedy, and burning compassion."

It was vitalized by international currents such as European existentialism and Latin American magical realism, while the electronic era brought the global village. The spoken word on television gave new life to oral tradition. Oral genres, media, and popular culture increasingly influenced narrative. In the past, elite culture influenced popular culture through its status and example; the reverse seems true in the United States in the postwar years. Serious novelists like Thomas Pynchon, Joyce Carol Oates, Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., Alice Walker, and E.L. Doctorow borrowed from and commented on comics, movies, fashions, songs, and oral history.

Bellow's Review Of Ellison
Man Underground , a Review of Ralph Ellison s Invisible Man by saul bellow.
http://www.writing.upenn.edu/~afilreis/50s/bellow-on-ellison.html

Extractions: 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?

Extractions: W hen Saul Bellow died in April, it was inevitable that I would think back on our one and only meeting, which was the occasion of the interview reprinted here. Doing so, I have realized, hardly for the first time, what a capricious editing system the memory is. Never mind my enormous admiration for Bellow and for his contribution to our literature, and never mind the subjects we covered and my poorly concealed excitement about getting him to field my questions for the public record, what I retain now, eight years after the event, is a dominant impression of courtesy, of a sweetness and decency of the sort that one could not always attribute to the various Bellovian protagonists they will not come again. (The following interview first appeared in AGNI 46 I Bellow, I would note, was relaxed, responsive, and unfailingly courteous. He did warn me at the outset that he had recently had dental work done and that too much talk was painful. We had not yet reached the hour mark when he took advantage of a long pause to conclude.

http://www.swans.com/library/art11/lproy25.html

Extractions: Swans Commentary swans.com June 6, 2005 Saul Bellow In Retrospect by Louis Proyect (Swans - June 6, 2005) When Saul Bellow won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1976, he joined other American prize winners who expressed their time. 1962 Nobel Laureate John Steinbeck captured the spirit of the turbulent 1930s just as African-American Toni Morrison, who received the award in 1993, gave expression to another period of strife and struggle. Contrary to these voices of rebellion, Bellow epitomized the postwar America retreat into psychoanalysis, material success, and establishment politics. As somebody who had experienced poverty in the 1930s and who had made a brief commitment to radical politics, Bellow was the artistic counterpart to an entire generation of intellectuals who had made room for themselves at the American dinner table. As so many of the others in this movement, Bellow's Jewish identity gave added weight to his right turn. The ascendancy of the Jewish intellectual in terms of social acceptance and material gain in the USA corresponded to the rise of the state of Israel. Not only had they made it; they resented others who had not picked themselves up by the bootstrap. Despite his conservative bent, Saul Bellow was a great writer capable of deep humanitarian insights. This article will consider his life and career and focus on one of his most highly regarded works

But now I know a little better. He died today in his home in Brookline, Massachusetts. Bellow, 89, still had the writing bug, and is lucky enough to have completed a biography in Nov. 2003: Bellows: a Literary Life . More importantly he is lucky enough that people care to read his biography. The Canadian-born Saul Bellow took on Chicago as his bailiwick and first started writing about the Windy City in 1944: The Dangling Man Great literature is great life - and powerful literature is that which doesn't paint a picture for you - but gives you enough so you can create your own pictures and allows your whims and wonders to follow their own twists and downfalls. Sadly, I feel now that 2005 is the Year of Death and I know we're very close to the death of Ray Bradbury, my literary hero, who is about 86.

http://www.robertfulford.com/Bellow.html

Extractions: by Robert Fulford Globe and Mail , November 2, 1999) Saul Bellow, 84 years old as the century ends, has lately been spending most of his time on a novel frankly based on Allan Bloom, the great teacher and philosopher who in 1987 wrote an astonishingly successful critique of education, The Closing of the American Mind . Bellow urged Bloom to write that book, contributed the enthusiastic introduction that helped sell it, and for years sang Bloom's praises wherever he could. They were close friends until Bloom's death in 1992. Now Bellow is erecting a literary monument to his friend, titled Ravelstein . The opening section, also called Ravelstein, which ran in the Nov. 1 issue of the New Yorker , turns out to be prime Bellow: dense, funny, surprising, crammed with the powerful sense of life that marks all of his best writing. If the novel (due in April) is as good as the excerpt, it can only add to Bellow's already majestic reputation. Bloom's admirers, however, will not be unanimously grateful. The people who studied with him at Cornell, Toronto, and Chicago speak of him with awe as a great shaping force in their lives. He seems to have humbled even Bellow, not an easy chore, but Bellow obviously believes that greatness deserves frankness, whatever Bloom's other friends think. So he has made Bloom's intimate life part of the story. Remarkably, no reference to Bloom's homosexuality has previously appeared in printnot in the publicity that surrounded his best-seller, or his obituaries, or even his posthumously published book

Extractions: Saul Bellow (b. 1915) Contributing Editor: Allan Chavkin Classroom Issues and Strategies I think the best strategy is to focus on specific parts of the story by asking a series of specific questions. This particular story can be approached on two different levels, for it is both a realistic depiction of a relief worker's dedicated attempt to search for an unemployed, crippled black man in the slums of Depression Chicago in order to deliver a welfare check and a symbolic quest to discover the relationship between reality and appearances. My approach to the story is generally conventionalasking questions and prompting class discussion on key issues. Another possible approach would be to play all or part of an excellent unabridged audio-recording of the story by Books on Tape, P. O. Box 7900, Newport Beach, CA 92658-7900, and discuss the interpretation that the Books-on-Tape reader gives to the story. Students often respond actively to the following issues raised by "Looking for Mr. Green": 1. Money as a formative influence on the creation of identity.

Coffee lovers may be a truckdriver on the highway in need of an invigorating drink or someone with a love for great taste. He/she may be a person who brings a broader knowledge into his/her experience, or a snob who can not believe that others "really" appreciate the nuances of the blend, etc. When one tries to develop his taste, and increase his knowledge, he may be viewed upon by others as a snob. Bellow and the Culinary Arts: In a New York Times Review of Books article appearing on May 18, 1983 Mimi Sheraton quotes the Nobel Prize winning author as saying: ''I eat in ethnic restaurants in Chicago and at my club, Les Nomades, which has a good French kitchen - maybe the best in the city. It's a private dining club , but it's not too hard to become a member In this line we can feel the ambivalence that Bellow feels about catering to his refined taste (best French restaurant in the city) and not wanting to be an elitist removed from the people (private club BUT not too hard to become a member.). We read that "Mr. Bellow likes wine. 'But I don't believe in becoming a

Authors Saul Bellow (1915- ) Index Born in Canada and raised in Chicago, Saul Bellow is of Russian-Jewish background. In college, he studied anthropology and sociology, which greatly influence his writing even today. He has expressed a profound debt to Theodore Dreiser for his openness to a wide range of experience and his emotional engagement with it. Highly respected, he received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1976. Bellow's early, somewhat grim existentialist novels include Dangling Man (1944), a Kafkaesque study of a man waiting to be drafted into the Army, and The Victim (1947), about relations between Jews and Gentiles. In the 1950s, his vision became more comic: He used a series of energetic and adventurous first-person narrators in The Adventures of Augie March (1953) the study of a Huck Finn-like urban entrepreneur who becomes a black marketeer in Europe and in Henderson the Rain King (1959), a brilliant and exuberant serio-comic novel about a middle-aged millionaire whose unsatisfied ambitions drive him to Africa.
