Bellow Viewed as Top American Novelist *
By B r u c e R o n d a a n c h o r Critiques Editor Novelist a n d u n i v e r s i t y p r o fessor S a u l Bellow, w h o w i l l s p e a k in Dimnent M e m o r i a l C h a p e l M o n d a y at 8 : 1 5 p.m., is g e n e r a l l y r e g a r d e d as the l e a d i n g contemp o r a r y A m e r i c a n novelist. His w o r k s h a v e received b o t h p o p u l a r a n d critical a p t r o v a l ; after the p u b l i c a t i o n of " H e r z o g " in 1 9 6 4 , critic G r a n d v i l l e Hicks wrote, ' H e r z o g ' re-enforces my conviction that Bellow is the l e a d i n g figure in A m e r i c a n f i c t i o n t o d a y . " MR, B E L L O W WAS b o r n in Quebec in 1915; his c o n c e r n f o r the role of the Jew in c o n t e m p o r a r y society m a y be traced to his c h i l d h o o d , d u r i n g which b e c a m e in c o n s t a n t contact with Jewish t h o u g h t a n d c u s t o m s .

In 1 9 3 3 he entered the University of C h i c a g o , d r o p p e d out, a n d enrolled in N o r t h w e s t e r n University, where he received his B.S. in 1937. D u r i n g World War II Mr. Bellow served in the Merchant M a r i n e , a n d worked o n his lirst novel " T h e D a n g l i n g M a n , " which w a s published in 1944. In 1 9 4 8 Mr. Bellow received a G u g g e n h e i m Fellowship. He went to E u r o p e a n d wrote " T h e Adventures of A u g i e M a r c h , " picaresque novel which c a p t u r e d m a n y of his b o y h o o d experiences in C h i c a g o . Mr. Bellow received the N a t i o n a l B o o k A w a r d f o r this novel in 1954. T w o y e a r s after r e c e i v i n g this a w a r d Mr. Bellow published "Seize the D a y , " which critic All red K a z i n h a s termed " h i s little m a s t e r p i e c e .

tional consciousness. C o n c e r n i n g Mr. Bellow's latest novel, " H e r z o g , " Alfred K a z i n noted, "Bellow is a thinker as m u c h a s he is novelist; it is e a s y to feel that ' H e r z o g ' is even m o r e a t r i u m p h ol a n a l y t i c intelligence t h a n ot representative fiction."

W R I T I N G A B O U T the exercise of the m i n d a n d die novelist's art, Mr. Bellow himself h a s written, " T h e r e is n o t h i n g left for us novelists to d o but think. F o r uiv less we think, unless we m a k e a clearer estimate of o u r condition, we will continue to write kid stuff, to fail in o u r function; we will lack s e r i o u s interests a n d become truly i r r e l e v a n t . " Yet Mr. Bellow is widely read outside novelistic circles a n d outside the a c a d e m i c c o m m u n i t y .
