Description

 							
  
  For much of
his adult life, Saul Bellow was the most acclaimed novelist in America, the winner of, among other awards, the Nobel
Prize in Literature, three National Book Awards, and the Pulitzer Prize. The Life of Saul Bellow, by the literary
scholar and biographer Zachary Leader, marks the centenary of Bellow’s birth as well as the tenth anniversary of
his death. It draws on unprecedented access to Bellow’s papers, including much previously restricted material, as
well as interviews with more than 150 of the novelist’s relatives, close friends, colleagues, and lovers, a
number of whom have never spoken to researchers before. Through detailed exploration of Bellow’s writings, and
the private history that informed them, Leader chronicles a singular life in letters, offering original and nuanced
accounts not only of the novelist’s development and rise to eminence, but of his many identities—as
writer, polemicist, husband, father, Chicagoan, Jew, American.
  
  The biography will be published in two
volumes. The first volume, To Fame and Fortune: 1915–1964, traces Bellow’s Russian roots; his birth and
early childhood in Quebec; his years in Chicago; his travels in Mexico, Europe, and Israel; the first three of his five
marriages; and the novels from Dangling Man and The Adventures of Augie March to the best-selling Herzog. New light is
shed on Bellow’s fellow writers, including Ralph Ellison, John Berryman, Lionel Trilling, and Philip Roth, and on
his turbulent and influential life away from the desk, which was as full of incident as his fiction. Bellow emerges as a
compelling character, and Leader’s powerful accounts of his writings, published and unpublished, forward the case
for his being, as the critic James Wood puts it, “the greatest of American prose stylists in the twentieth
century.” 
   
  PRAISE
  “Since Saul Bellow–along with William
Faulkner–constitutes the sturdy backbone of 20th century American literature, a biography as lavishly detailed
and craftily organized as Mr. Leader’s is a necessary addition to the library of major biographies of our
strongest writers. Despite Bellow’s every effort to find order and serenity in which to do his work, his life, as
it is meticulously presented here, was no less wild and original than his novels , a turbulence of crises that might
have killed him had they not been magically transfigured by a prose style as rich and roiling as Melville’s into
one of the liveliest, brainiest collections of vivid American fiction that is ours to treasure.”
 
—Philip Roth
  
  “A dazzling piece of work—a tremendous achievement—it draws the
reader in wonderfully well, with its almost manic attention to biographical detail, and its inspired interweaving of
Bellow’s autobiography with his fiction. It’s shrewd and scholarly throughout; but also lavish,
entertaining and frequently mischievous. Young Bellow himself comes steadily surging through, getting bigger and bigger:
clever, ambitious, philandering, mordant, magnificent, dominating and always furiously typing, typing, typing. In a
word, this Volume One has all the makings of an American epic. I enjoyed it immensely.”
  —Richard
Holmes
   
  “Zachary Leader has written a multi-layered book about a colossal American literary life.
His research is prodigious, his curiosity about Saul Bellow’s epic career limitless, and he reinvents biography
as a four-dimensional narrative of time, space, perspective, and genre. Leader sets forth Bellow’s life history
through his interviews and letters as well as those of his huge extended family, his wives, mistresses, children,
friends, enemies, neighbors, colleagues, critics, rivals, teachers, students, agents, editors, and publishers, and
through analyses of Bellow’s books and stories about them, and their books and stories about him. On a grand
scale, as enthralling as it is masterful, The Life of Saul Bellow is one of the great biographies of our time.”
  —Elaine Showalter
   
  “Richly detailed, Zachary Leader’s admiring but clear-eyed
chronicle of Saul Bellow’s youth, talent, and his struggle for recognition is nuanced, impassioned, and
capacious; from him we meet Bellow as if for the first time, as friend, lover, father, husband, American, and
Jew– and of course as the writer who energetically resisted despair and cynicism with his profound commitment to
literature and to life. An essential book– more than a biography, it’s the story of American letters in
the twentieth century.”
  —Brenda Wineapple
  
  “Zachary Leader has read everything,
interviewed everyone, and woven it all together into a biography of Saul Bellow on a grand scale. Staggering in its
research, rich with insight into the relationships between his family origins, the lives he pursued, the people he knew,
and the books he wrote, this account lays bare the alchemy of Bellow’s imagination and the sources of his
literary achievement in profuse and arresting detail.” 
  — Morris Dickstein
  
 
“This will stand as the definitive account of the making of Saul Bellow, an absorbing story of how a determined
young writer emerged as one of the twentieth-century’s most celebrated novelists.”
  —James
Shapiro
  
  “It is, however, certain that I will not be alone in the expectation that The Life of Saul
Bellow will prove definitive. Leader is respectful but unintimidated, balanced but never anodyne, and his literary
criticism, like his prose, is unfailingly stylish and acute. The book is very learned,”
  —Martin
Amis, Vanity Fair
   
  “Zachary Leader, the latest Bellow biographer, has found plenty… Leader is
statesmanlike, fair-minded…He is particularly felicitous in his descriptions of Bellow’s parents and their
struggles”
  —Judith Shulevitz, The Atlantic
