198422zckNew York: Harper & Row 1984. Book. Very Good. Hardcover. Family fiction and the fiction-of-ideas are two competing concerns in Bellow's work. Those seemingly contradictory roles-- the darkly comic memoirist and the thorny essayist-- are on display occasionally even blending in a richly charming way. One story "A Silver Dish" is the memoirist/ family side of Bellow virtually undiluted: a 60-year-old South Chicago businessman reacts exuberantly to the death of his old father-- in a memory-montage that showcases Bellow's boisterous visceral ironic warmth. But in other pieces chunks of zesty family/friend reminiscence and personal psychology are shaded with cultural musings or implications. "Zetland: By a Character Witness" recalls the early life of a Chicago intellectual/bohemian rebelling against his old-fashioned Jewish family; the subtext is a gently mordant view of all intellectual idealism. In "Cousins" the narrator is a law-expert/celebrity who uses his influence to get a light sentence for his gangster-cousin Tanky; here the inability to "extricate myself from the ties of Jewish cousinhood" leads to memories of other cousins to anthropological puzzles to the conflict between the "brainy" and the gutsy. And most effective of all in the weaving of earthy tale-spinning with meditation is the title story: narrator Harry a 65-ish musicologist who's hiding out from big legal troubles in Vancouver is writing an apology to the long-ago victim of one of his many cruel wisecracks; he recounts the Balzac-like money/family mistakes which got him into his present mess; and without strain or contrivance this confession/self-analysis winds through such oddly relevant matters as Allen Ginsberg the breeding of pit bulldogs music vs. materialism and Jewish assimilationism. The longest piece "What Kind of Day Did You Have" an affair between a youngish divorcee and a famous old art critic becomes a frame for wrestlings with Marxism celebrity and intellectual hucksterism. But much of this welcome gathering presents the restless Bellow voice in full cry--taut colorful Talmudic and large-hearted. . Harper & Row Hardcover
