Saul Bellow

An acclaimed American-Jewish writer, born in Quebec, schooled in the United States. Won the Nobel prize for literature in 1976. Known for novels investigating isolation, spiritual dissociation and the possibilities of human awakening. (need more, just barely scratching the surface)

Well-known works include: [Seize the Day]? [Adventures of Augie March]? [Henderson the Rain King]? Herzog?

Although not as widely acclaimed as some of his novels, Bellow's more recent works include a powerful and extraordinarily well-crafted collection of short stories entitled [Him with His Foot in His Mouth]?.
