With this masterly and original work,
Bellow: A Biography
, National Book Award nominee James Atlas gives the first definitive account of the Nobel Prize–winning author’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.
Drawing upon a vast body of original research, including Bellow’s extensive correspondence with Ralph Ellison, Delmore Schwartz, John Berryman, Robert Penn Warren, John Cheever, and many other luminaries of the twentieth-century literary community, Atlas weaves a rich and revealing portrait of one of the most talented and enigmatic figures in American intellectual history.
Detailing Bellow’s volatile marriages and numerous tempestuous relation-ships with women, publishers, and friends,
Bellow: A Biography
is a magnificent chronicle of one of the premier writers in the English language, whose prize-winning works include
Herzog
,
The Adventures of Augie March
, and, most recently,
Ravelstein
.
