Bellow's Review Of Ellison
Man Underground , a Review of Ralph Ellison's Invisible Man by saul bellow.
http://www.english.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?
Marginality In Saul Bellow's Early Novels
Abstract of a Ph.D. dissertation by Derek Rubin.
http://www.let.uu.nl/nasa/rubimarg.htm

Extractions: Amsterdam, 20 November 1995 SUMMARY This study begins with an examination of Saul Bellow's career as a writer within the context of the social and cultural position of the Jews in American society. In the Introduction I discuss how his rise to prominence as a major American novelist can be viewed as part of the movement of the Jews from the periphery to the centre of American life. This being a literary study, however, it tries to find the key to Bellow's success as a Jewish writer in America primarily in his fiction. From this perspective, I consider one central aspect of his work, namely, the ways in which it incorporates the experience of marginality. I do so by examining four of Bellow's early novels in which marginality plays an important role: Dangling Man The Victim The Adventures of Augie March (1953), and Herzog Chapter 1 contains a general discussion of the sociological concept of marginality, as defined by the American sociologist Robert E. Park. In that chapter, I specify how Bellow's early fiction is characterized by his linking his protagonists' experience of marginality as Jews in American society to their pursuit of the ideal of individualism, which has traditionally been central to American culture and literature. I also discuss how, when looked at in this light, these protagonists' quests for personal freedom or autonomy can best be seen as attempts on their part to maintain their integrity in the face of pressures toward compromise and self-betrayal.

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
Die Zeit - Literatur : Der Schriftsteller Saul Bellow Ist Im Alter Von 89 Jahren
(Die Zeit) W¼rdigung des Amerikaners, der 1976 f¼r seinen Roman Humboldts Verm¤chtnis den Nobelpreis erhielt .
http://www.zeit.de/2005/15/Bellow

Extractions: Diesen Artikel auf einer Seite lesen Der amerikanische Literatur-Nobelpreisträger Saul Bellow ist gestern in Brookline (Massachusetts) im Alter von 89 Jahren gestorben. Bellows Werk ist von beißender Ironie ebenso geprägt wie von einer melancholischen Suche nach dem Sinn des Lebens in der modernen Welt. Den Nobelpreis erhielt Bellow 1976 für seinen Roman Humboldts Vermächtnis , der von den Zweifeln eines Intellektuellen an seiner Gesellschaft handelt. Für das Buch wurde er im gleichen Jahr auch mit dem Pulitzerpreis ausgezeichnet. Der in einem Arme-Leute-Vorort der kanadischen Großstadt Montréal geborene Autor, der mit Romanen wie Herzog und später Humboldts Vermächtnis weltberühmt wurde, gehörte zu den am meisten und bewunderten und verehrten Schriftstellern Nordamerikas. Eine wichtige Rolle spielten für ihn die Erfahrungen von Einwanderern, insbesondere von Juden, und deren oft harter Überlebenskampf. Bellow kam 1915 als viertes Kind einer aus Russland stammenden Familie auf die Welt. Später wuchs er in einem osteuropäisch und jüdisch geprägten Viertel von Chicago auf. Kritiker würdigten Bellow als bedeutenden Chronisten amerikanisch-jüdischer Intellektualität und der amerikanischen Gesellschaft insgesamt. Zu seinen Verdiensten für die Entwicklung der Literatur gehörte die Schaffung eines stark intellekt-betonten Heldentyps.

Extractions: INeedCoffee become a friend Home History by Myron Joshua Print Friendly Version Email This Article Elitism and Democracy: Coffee in the Life and Literature of Saul Bellow The fine line between coffee afficionado and coffee snob is finer than that which divides a perfect espresso from one over-extracted. 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.).

Extractions: FRtR Outlines American Literature American Prose Since 1945: Realism and Experimentation ... 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. Bellow's later works include

Extractions: Berliner Branchen Stadtplan Tickets Club ... :: Erotik LOTTO Berlin Kino Auktionen Sport-Ticker Jobs Berlin Online Club Horoskop Hotels Schulfreunde Immobilien Autos Impressum Mediadaten Saul Bellow beschreibt Menschen der Chicagoer Ober- und Mittelschicht, die alle auf merkwürdige Weise verstrickt sind: in unerfüllte Liebesgeschichten, mißratene Ehen, kriminelle Handlungen, Geldgeschäfte oder Immobilien-Transaktionen. Den Erzähler verunsichert, als Jude Teil eines erwählten Volkes zu sein; seinen reichen Geschäftsfreund, ebenfalls Jude, bekümmert nur die Langeweile. Bellow entwirft eine traurige Welt von Menschen, die ihre Lebensmitte hinter sich wissen und erfahren haben, daß weder Liebe, noch Geld, Mord oder Diebstahl dauerhaft glücklich machen. Alles hat seine Zeit, und die ist meistens kurz. Man kann dies als Kritik des 1915 geborenen Literatur-Nobelpreisträgers an der amerikanischen Gesellschaft lesen. Denn obwohl der Titel des Buches eine Liebesgeschichte suggeriert, handelt es gerade von der Liebesunfähigkeit derer, die sich vom Drang nach Selbstdarstellung, Ruhm oder Reichtum haben ablenken lassen. Weil Bellow ein überaus geschickter Autor ist, erschließt sich dies wie von selbst aus den Szenen, die der Erzähler in kurzen Rückblenden eindrücklich beschreibt. Es sind diese Episoden, die das Buch so lesenswert machen nicht die Spannung, wie es wohl ausgehen mag. Harry Trellman, wie sein Erfinder ein "guter Beobachter", handelt und äußert sich nie "offen, direkt". Erst mit dem Heiratsantrag verläßt er seine passive Rolle, sein Exil, und eine ganz andere Geschichte kann beginnen.

Extractions: Saul Bellow, 1984 UPI/Corbis-Bettmann (b. June 10, 1915, Lachine, near Montreal, Que., Can.), American novelist whose characterizations of modern urban man, disaffected by society but not destroyed in spirit, earned him the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1976. Brought up in a Jewish household and fluent in Yiddishwhich influenced his energetic English stylehe was representative of the Jewish-American writers whose works became central to American literature after World War II. Bellow's parents emigrated in 1913 from Russia to Montreal. When he was nine they moved to Chicago. He attended the University of Chicago and Northwestern University (B.S., 1937), and afterward combined writing with a teaching career at various universities, including the University of Minnesota, Princeton University, New York University, Bard College, the University of Chicago, and Boston University. He won a reputation among a small group of readers with his first two novels, Dangling Man (1944), a story in diary form of a man waiting to be inducted into the army, and The Victim (1947), a subtle study of the relationship between a Jew and a Gentile, each of whom becomes the other's victim.
With Friends Like Saul Bellow

http://www.nytimes.com/library/magazine/home/20000416mag-ravelstein.html

Extractions: Photographs by Steve Kagan/The New York Times (Bloom, left) and Camera Press (Bellow, right) Once you have read Saul Bellow's new novel, "Ravelstein," the tape becomes more interesting. "Ravelstein" is a memoirlike account of Bellow's friendship with Bloom, the political philosopher who achieved fame with his 1987 jeremiad, "The Closing of the American Mind," and died in 1992. The two men had become close during their years teaching together at the University of Chicago's Committee for Social Thought, an interdisciplinary graduate program known for its conservative ideological focus. Within that community and beyond, "Ravelstein" has created a furor, because in it the 84-year-old Bellow discloses that Bloom (the Ravelstein of the title) was homosexual and writes that his death at age 62, ascribed in his obituaries to internal bleeding and liver failure, was actually from AIDS. Some of Bloom's other friends dispute the cause of death and wonder at Bellow's intentions in "outing" his colleague. "The Closing of the American Mind" was a No. 1 best seller for 10 weeks. It shaped the culture wars, the battle over what to teach in universities, for years afterward. President Reagan invited Bloom to the White House; Margaret Thatcher discussed philosophy with him at Chequers. Now, eight years after his death, the icon of cultural conservatism someone you automatically hated or liked depending on your politics turns out to be someone different.

NETZEITUNG KULTUR: Saul Bellow, Der Mann In Der Schwebe
(Netzeitung) saul bellow war einer der Giganten der amerikanischen Literatur, glaubt J.M. Coetzee. Mit Ironie und Scharfsinn besch¤ftigte er sich mit dem Leben im modernen Amerika. Nachruf zum Tode des Autors.
http://www.netzeitung.de/kultur/332770.html

Extractions: Unter den amerikanischen Romanciers der zweiten Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts steche Saul Bellow als einer der Giganten, vielleicht sogar der Gigant hervor, schrieb J.M. Coetzee vor gut einem Jahr in der «New York Review of Books». Anlass war die Herausgabe der ersten drei Bücher Bellows Dangling Man (1944), The Victim (1947), and Augie March (1953) in einem tausendseitigen Band durch die Library of America. Diese Ehre wird den meisten Schriftstellern erst postum zuteil. Bellow konnte sich im Gegensatz zu manchem Kollegen 1976 auch über den Nobelpreis für Literatur freuen. Die Verleihung bereite ihm daher «ein heimliches Gefühl der Scham, weil so viele große Schriftsteller ihn nicht bekommen haben». Den Preis erhielt er für seinen Roman «Humboldts Vermächtnis», der von den Zweifeln eines Intellektuellen an seiner Gesellschaft handelt. Für das Buch wurde er im gleichen Jahr auch mit dem Pulitzerpreis ausgezeichnet. Ironie mit Erfolg Der Protagonist von «Humboldts Vermächtnis» ist eine typische Figur Bellows, dessen Romane sich oft um die innere Auseinandersetzung von Selfmade-Intellektuellen mit ihrer Geschichte und ihren Idealen strukturieren. Bellows Helden blicken oft mit milder bis beißender Ironie auf ihre früheren Ichs, aber auch auf die Gesellschaft, in der sie leben. Bellows Figuren sind zutiefst amerikanisch, indem sie meist zwar aus nicht wohlhabenden Familien stammen, aber durch gewisse Umstände sich dennoch genügend Bildung aneignen konnten, um zumindest das Potenzial für Erfolg zu besitzen.
