The Adventures of Saul Bellow

Using rare archive material and interviews with important writers, Asaf Galay sheds light on how the 1976 Nobel Prize-winning author Saul Bellow (Herzog, Humboldt's Legacy) changed modern literature and became the ‘greatest American prose stylist of the 20th century’ (James Woods).

As an unruly intellectual, married father of several children, Chicagoan and Jewish American, he shows in his work and beyond a willingness to deal with social issues, to criticise the materialist-oriented US society and not to keep his provocative political views to himself. Insights into a turbulent, irrepressibly creative life - a real treasure trove, and not just for Bellow fans!
