Description
pp. 686, b/w photographs, “Masterly, original, Bellow: A Biography is an extraordinary achievement, the brilliant and long-awaited biography of the Nobel Prize-winning author of Herzog, The Adventures of Augie March, and other bestsellers. National Book Award nominee James Atlas here gives the first definitive account of Bellow’s turbulent personal and professional life, as it unfolded against the background of twentieth-century events–the Depression, World War II, the upheavals of the sixties–and amid all the complexities of the Jewish-immigrant experience in America, which generated a vibrant new literature. “
