Saul Bellow

I am sad to learn that he died. Henderson the Rain King is one of most wonderful books I've ever read.

Thanks for posting about this. I was inspired to pick up a collection of critical essays by Bellow off a street vendor today.

Who woulda thunk he was buddies with Wolfowitz? Shows what little I know.
Was Bellow a neoconservative? The question arose in 2000 because of his friendly portrait of a lightly fictionalised Paul Wolfowitz in Ravelstein. article (http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,2092-1562185,00.html)
