Saul Bellow is one of the twentieth century's most influential,
respected, and honored writers. His novels The Adventures of Augie
March, Herzog, and Mr. Sammler's Planet won the National Book
Award, and Humboldt's Gift was awarded the 1976 Pulitzer Prize for
fiction. In addition, his plays garnered popular and critical
acclaim, and some were produced on Broadway. Known for his insights
into life in a post-Holocaust world, Bellow's explorations of
modernity, Jewish identity, and the relationship between art and
society have resonated with his readers, but because his writing is
not overtly political, his politics have largely been ignored.
A Political Companion to Saul Bellow examines the author's
novels, essays, short stories, and letters in order to illuminate
his evolution from liberal to neoconservative. It investigates
Bellow's exploration of the United States as a democratic system,
the religious and ideological influences on his work, and his views
on race relations, religious identity, and multiculturalism in the
academy. Featuring a fascinating conclusion that draws from
interviews with Bellow's sons, this accessible companion is an
excellent resource for understanding the political thought of one
of America's most acclaimed writers.
