I am hungry to read all his works. It consists of Joseph’s personal diary entries dating from December 15, 1942, to April 9, 1943. His later books of fiction include Seize the Day (1956); Henderson the Rain King (1959); Mosby's Memoirs and Other Stories (1968); Mr. Sammler's Planet (1970); Humboldt's Gift (1975), which won the Pulitzer Prize; The Dean's December (1982); More Die of Heartbreak (1987); Theft (1988); The Bellarosa Connection (1989);The Actual (1996); Ravelstein (2000); and, most recently, Collected Stories(2001). I identify with him. He believes I am a natural comedian and laughs at everything I say. The structure of writing in a diary style could help many first time authors complete novels that might otherwise go unfinished. The opposites are free to range themselves against each other, and they are passionately expressed on both sides. He hopes to indulge his love of books but, now that he has almost unlimited time to read, he finds that no book can hold his interest. A few pages in and I was lost. Nothing actually happens during the book- Joseph does not get drafted until the last pages, and the raging war is only referenced in terms of its effect on those back home- but the existential somersaults Joseph executes to battle his ennui and sense of purposelessness drive the novel forward. will never have anything to do with you Mr.Bellow.自由好累，为自由而固执往往最后失去了自身，只剩下固执。或许在绝望那刻不甘地妥协命运，和生活和解，反而会赢回了自身。唉，那一刻自己心境是平和了，唉，至少平和了。贝娄处女作。日记体。主角是死要面子活受罪还不知克制把怒火往朋友家人到处洒的失意中年人。主角明明无所事事，可自由难受啊。失去“自由”那刻，他舒坦了。为什么在他人眼中的自己不务正业，自己也会那么难受呢？他人眼中的期待我若永远无法满足，那个他人，我多么想回避啊。这个他人也可以是某个我贝娄处女作。日记体。主角是死要面子活受罪还不知克制把怒火往朋友家人到处洒的失意中年人。主角明明无所事事，可自由难受啊。失去“自由”那刻，他舒坦了。为什么在他人眼中的自己不务正业，自己也会那么难受呢？他人眼中的期待我若永远无法满足，那个他人，我多么想回避啊。这个他人也可以是某个我自由好累，为自由而固执往往最后失去了自身，只剩下固执。或许在绝望那刻不甘地妥协命运，和生活和解，反而会赢回了自身。唉，那一刻自己心境是平和了，唉，至少平和了。Circa 1942. A staggering monologue, this debut of Bellow. Along with Bellow's second novel The Victim, it is considered his "apprentice" work.

He has the pride of what he has become: a successful young man, comfortable, respected, safe for the present from those craters of the spirit which I have lately looked into.

In the end he makes up his mind, but it is doubtful his decision is satisfactory. This is a book about what happens inside a man when he is left waiting, without "regimentation," when his days are all his own. Look back at the leading ladies of the 1980s who made their mark with iconic roles (and some major hairstyles, too).Want to share IMDb's rating on your own site? ""...the 'ideal construction' is the one that unlocks the imprisoning self. First I read Ravelstein, which was essentially an insult to the reader's intelligence. If we have too much time too look at ourselves, we might not like what we see, and then things just might spread from there.Have always loved Saul Bellow's intellect and quirkiness. Sure his family did not want Wally Simpson since the Royals are very concerned about their bloodlines, especially to those royals who will produce an heir. "); and situational misogyny. when I was around ten years old, a word was invented there, most likely by a close relative of mine named Aputuy (though I'm not sure of this as he may have picked it up also from someone else). Without work, Joseph is idle and struggles to understand his purpose or role in life. Worst of all, Myron has learned, like so many others, to prize convenience. The book sold poorly but it established Bellow as a writer of promise. For all the genius of this novel, I did not always hold my attention--left me feeling a bit dangling myself---but I am inclined to go on and read other novels from the Bellow oeuvre!A slim novel with huge ideas, and although a great foundation is laid down and much is left undone, underdone or unsaid (to the novel's detriment I must say), it's still a more than worthwhile read, especially considering the later heights Saul Bellow reached.A slim novel with huge ideas, and although a great foundation is laid down and much is left undone, underdone or unsaid (to the novel's detriment I must say), it's still a more than worthwhile read, especially considering the later heights Saul Bellow reached.Try as I might, I’ve never connected with Saul Bellow’s prose. I identify with him. His diary serves as a philosophical confessional for his musings. He attended the University of Chicago, received his Bachelor's degree from Northwestern University in 1937, with honors in sociology and anthropology, did graduate work at the University of Wisconsin, and served in the Merchant Marines during World War II.“Do you have feelings? Welcome back. It is only once it is finished and months later I'm still thinking about the damn thing that I realise just how good he is.

Of course, I've read neither of those.

Published It's not true. Saul Bellow did live in Chicago and the setting is Chicago. Was this review helpful to you? In diary entries late in the story, Joseph holds lengthy philosophical discussions with an alter-ego. Charles visits the exiled Duke of Windsor in his Paris chateau, only to find him very ill. But can you imagine how as a Nazi sympathizer, what kind of a king he would have been during WWII? Painting a generation with intellectual nacissicism (Tu As Raison Aussi) and obsession with French existensialism ("If I were a little less obstinate, I would confess failure and say that I do not know what to do with my freedom.
