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.
