I hungrily read the book through in three nights, as though Id stumbled upon a lost Bellow masterpiece only recently unearthed. br ?Philip Roth In the Letters, as in everything he wrote, Saul Bellow never dipped below a certain level?and that level is stratospheric. br ?Martin Amis These arent dashed-off notes, but letters that required considerable care and meant much to the author, as he expresses affection and support for other writers (Ellison, Roth, Malamud, Cheever, Amis et al.), takes critics and journalists to task with well-formed arguments and offers critical commentary on the culture that provides the context for his work (a culture that no longer values the art of writing letters). br ?_Kirkus Reviews_ Feisty, smart, but most of all thrillingly intimate, these letters ripen and mature as they go along, just as some people do. br ?_Chicago Tribune_ Benjamin Taylor has done a superb job in both his selection and his introduction to these salient letters from a gone world when literature was all the rage. br ?_Tablet Magazine_ Benjamin Taylors introduction and frequent brief indentifying notes are models of elegant scholarly restraint. br ?_Boston Globe_ Collected and annotated by Benjamin Taylor, these letters reveal in Saul Bellow a rare consistency: From the first letter in 1932 to the last in 2005, Bellows ex-wives accrue, his fortunes rise and fall, but his character-as a man generous and preoccupied by literature-remains fixed. br ?_Time Out New York_ Vibrant, witty, and revealing, the collection is truly captivating. br -Kiara, Bookseller, Booksmith strongA never-before-published collection of letters-an intimate self- portrait as well as the portrait of a century. strong Saul Bellow was a dedicated correspondent until a couple of years before his death, and his letters, spanning eight decades, show us a twentieth-century life in all its richness and complexity. Friends, lovers, wives, colleagues, and fans all cross these pages. Some of the finest letters are to Bellows fellow writers-William Faulkner, John Cheever, Philip Roth, Martin Amis, Ralph Ellison, Cynthia Ozick, and Wright Morris. Intimate, ironical, richly observant, and funny, these letters reveal the influcences at work in the man, and illuminate his enduring legacy-the novels that earned him a Nobel Prize and the admiration of the world over. Saul Bellow: Letters is a major literary event and an important edition to Bellows incomparable body of work.
