Something to Remember Me By. Three Tales. The Bellarosa Connection A Theft Something To Remember Me By.
New York: The Viking Press 1991. First edition of this trio of short works by the Nobel laureate and “greatest writer of American prose of the twentieth century†James Wood The New Republic. Octavo original half cloth. Presentation copy inscribed by the author on the title page "For Sally Soames Saul Bellow Chicago Oct 10 '91." The recipient British photojournalist Sally Soames worked for The Sunday Times from 1968 until 2000 and was highly regarded for her exclusively black and white portraits of many of the most prominent figures of the 20th century including Menachem Begin Margaret Atwood Margaret Thatcher Sean Connery Rudolf Nureyev Alec Guinness and Andy Warhol. Soames who was known to be a warm and personal journalist performed extensive research on the subjects of her photographs and developed intimate rapports with them during her process resulting in intimate and revealing portraits. In addition to the several world leaders Soames came to know and photograph she captured the creative energy and personality of some of the world’s most gifted authors poets and playwrights. She published two books of photographs during her lifetime Manpower 1987 with text by Robin Morgan and an introduction by Harold Evans and Writers 1995 with a preface by Norman Mailer.

While Saul Bellow is known best for his longer fiction in award-winning novels such as The Adventures of Augie March and Herzog Something to Remember Me By will draw new readers to Bellow as it showcases his extraordinary gift for creating memorable characters within a smaller canvas. The loss of a ring in A Theft helps an oft-married woman understand her own wisdom and capacity for love. In The Bellarosa Connection Harry Fonstein has escaped from Nazi brutality with the help of an underground organization masterminded by the legendary Broadway impresario Billy Rose and his story continues in America . In the title story seventeen-year-old Louie—whose mother is dying of cancer—strays far from home and finds not solace but humiliation and ultimately the blessing of his father’s wrath.

Contains a loose "An Evening with Saul Bellow" pamphlet. DL consignment. Shelved Case 2. Saul Bellow was born June 10 1915 in Lachine Quebec to two Jewish Lithuanian immigrants arriving from the then Russian Empire. They moved to Chicago when he was young. Bellows rebelled against his parent's expectations by pursuing a love of writing born of a love of the Torah Shakespeare and the great Russian authors of the 1800's. Bellows wrote his first novel "Dangling Man" while serving in the merchant marines in World War II seeing it published in 1944. <br /> <br /> Bellows would write "The Adventures of Augie March" in 1953 while in teaching in Paris under a Guggenheim Fellowship. "The Adventures of Augie March" has been hailed for it's dispelling of the traditional idea of the American hero as the eponymous Augie while having many heroic qualities and every opportunity to succeed fails to do so as he has no clear goal for himself chasing an ever elusive "better fate". <br /> <br /> The novel has been named as one of the 100 best novels in the English language by "TIME" magazine and Modern Library. 1386456.
