Saul Bellow


(June 10, 1915-April 5, 2005)

We are always looking for the book it is necessary to read next.

A winner of the Nobel Prize, Pulitzer Prize, three National Book Awards and the National Medal of Honor, Bellow spent his formative years in Humboldt Park, which serves as a backdrop in many of his novels. He attended University of Chicago and Northwestern University, then taught at the former institution for decades, working it into such classic novels as Humboldt’s Gift and The Dean’s December.
