Early days yet

Chiming with the centenary of the birth of Saul Bellow and the tenth anniversary of his death comes a biography drawing on a wealth of previously restricted material and new interviews. "The Life of Saul Bellow", by Zachary Leader, is the first in a two-part portrait of a writer whom Mr Leader calls "the most decorated...in American history". This volume charts his initial struggles, burgeoning talent and first big artistic achievements, finishing with the publication in 1964 of "Herzog", which many believe to have been Bellow's masterpiece.
