Mopping Up Saul Bellow

[malignd at aol.com]

Of those on the list, I'd recommend More Die of Heartbreak.  I liked it better than Henderson.  The Victim's good but, by Bellow's own evaluation, he hadn't really found his voice when he wrote it.  Ditto Dangling Man which I haven't read.

Hello foax

Preparing for a 2 week holdiday (Mexico), and going through the usual vexations 
over what books to bring. Was leafing through Saul Bellow's 'Augie March' the 
other day, and reflecting that I should really mop up all teh remaining Bellow 
novels that I haven't yet read. I'm ambivalent about Bellow the person, of 
course, but his better books are fantastic. So, I've read most of teh obvious 
ones, and pretty much all the short stories. What's left? Here's a list, please 
advise:

Dangling Man

The Victim

Henderson the Rain King

More Die of Heartbreak

The Actual


CheersJ
