Remembering Saul Bellow
I am an American, Chicago born—Chicago, that somber city—and go at things as I have taught myself, free style, and will make the record in my own way: first to knock, first admitted; sometimes an innocent knock, sometimes a not so innocent.
—from The Adventures of Augie March, 1953
Saul Bellow was mentioned this morning on Eight Fourty-Eight: [RealAudio, sorry!]. He passed away earlier this year. He was a Nobel laureate and a longtime Chicagoan—although, neither American, nor Chicago born.
