Saul Bellow was born June 10 1915 in Lachine Quebec to two Jewish Lithuanian immigrants arriving from the then Russian Empire. They moved to Chicago when he was young. Bellows rebelled against his parent's expectations by pursuing a love of writing born of a love of the Torah Shakespeare and the great Russian authors of the 1800's. Bellows wrote his first novel "Dangling Man" while serving in the merchant marines in World War II seeing it published in 1944. <br /> <br /> Bellows would write "The Adventures of Augie March" in 1953 while in teaching in Paris under a Guggenheim Fellowship. "The Adventures of Augie March" has been hailed for it's dispelling of the traditional idea of the American hero as the eponymous Augie while having many heroic qualities and every opportunity to succeed fails to do so as he has no clear goal for himself chasing an ever elusive "better fate". <br /> <br /> The novel has been named as one of the 100 best novels in the English language by "TIME" magazine and Modern Library. 1386456.

30864Paris Plon coll. « Feux croisés » 22 février 1954. 1 vol. 120 x 190 mm de 259 p. 1 et 1 f. Broché non coupé. . Édition originale de la traduction par Michel Déon. Un des 62 premiers exemplaires sur alfa n° 19. . Inspiré des Carnets du sous-sol de Dostoïevski Saul Bellow rédige The Dangling Man “L'Homme en sursis†à l'âge de vingt-cinq ans alors qu'il se trouve dans la marine marchande. Né au Québec à Lachine en 1915 fils d'immigrés juifs-russes il est élevé à l'école de la rue et comme Salinger Bernard Malamud Philip Roth ou Norman Mailer profondément marqué par la communauté juive d'où il est issu. Comme ses héros il se sent minoritaire et isolé « mal adapté » cherchant son « statut » et son « identité » parmi la « foule solitaire ». Tel est précisément le cas de ce premier livre Dangling Man publié en 1944 qui met en scène un indécis incapable de s'engager et d'entreprendre : c'est le journal d'un jeune homme de Chicago appelé Joseph comme le héros de Kafka. Il a quitté son travail et doit être enrôlé dans l'armée. Un texte saisi et magnifiquement traduit par Michel Déon dont ce sera l'unique traduction. Lorsqu'il meurt en 2005 à quatre-vingt-neuf ans Bellow « est l'un des derniers géants des lettres américaines. A l'heure qu'il est on ne sait pas encore quelle direction il a choisie. Peut-être les enfers car il en connaissait les moindres recoins pour les avoir explorés dans une oeuvre subversive toujours voltairienne et parfaitement sulfureuse. Plus ‘enlevée' parfois que celle de Philip Roth auquel on ne cesse de la comparer. Les deux ténors chassaient en effet sur les mêmes terres - les rêves en jachère d'une Amérique squattée par le diable - mais Bellow le spartiate avait souvent une longueur d'avance grâce à la concision électrique de sa prose à son ironie incendiaire et à la précision foudroyante de ses tirs. Sa cible préférée Le cretinus americanus une espèce dont il observait le déclin d'un oeil féroce. En fustigeant la dictature des bien-pensants les opinions majoritaires et le laminage des cervelles au pays de Mickey Mouse . Cette douce perfidie n'empêcha pas Bellow qui arborait d'élégants chapeaux d'être l'auteur le plus couronné d'outre-Atlantique : un prix Pulitzer trois National Book Award et bien sûr un Nobel en 1976. » André Clavel Le Temps 7 avril 2005.
