Hardcover. Etat : New. Etat de la jaquette : New. 1st Edition. ABOUT THE BOOK: A never-before-published collection of letters - an intimate self-portrait as well as the portrait of a century. 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 Bellow's 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 Bellow's incomparable body of work. * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Saul Bellow's dazzling career as a novelist has been marked with numerous literary prizes, including the 1976 Nobel Prize, and the Gold Medal for the Novel.

Hardcover. Etat : As New. Etat de la jaquette : As New. 1st Edition. First edition, 1st printing. Bright, clean & tight copy, unread, in AS NEW condition. "Rare are the novelists who write nonfiction comparable in strength to their fiction. Now that the bulk of his nonfiction has been drawn together from where the pieces first appeared separately, one sees that, like Henry James and John Updike, the great Saul Bellow was no less the master of the one genre than the other. This book overwhelms one like any artistic treasure newly discovered. When it came to wondrous lucidity in the service of an uncanny literary empathy--to a steady downpour of intelligence--to a direct contact with reality--to a sensibility attuned to the contradictions and the incongruities--he was unrivaled. Like the book of Bellow's correspondence collected several years back by Benjamin Taylor--the same intrepid editor who is the harvester here--THERE IS SIMPLY TOO MUCH TO THINK ABOUT further extends our sense of Bellow's extremely humane way of experiencing books, people, events, and places. One witnesses his excited mind, in a molten state, running over."--Philip Roth. "Magnificent. THERE IS SIMPLY TOO MUCH TO THINK ABOUT is not merely a complement to Bellow's fiction. It is an intimate portrait of Bellow's defiant, irascible mind, and a milestone of twentieth-century criticism. The collection offers a triumphant overabundance of riches--which is exactly why we read Bellow in the first place."--The New York Review of Books. Pristine hardcover w/brilliant corner & crisp edges, a square & tight binding, wrapped in an intact As New jacket.…
