Nobel Prize winner Saul Bellow reads his fiction
In Saul Bellow: At Ease, the Nobel Prize-winning author speaks with the Columbia, Maryland, community in February 1986 at Howard Community College, reading from Henderson the Rain King and referencing other works, such as Herzog and Seize the Day, as he responds to audience queries about his early influences, intersections of life and literature, the harmonies of storytelling, the pleasures and pains of writing, the impact of criticism, and the comic imagination. Then, in an impromptu press conference with area journalists, Bellow shares his views on the possibilities of fiction and the creative imagination to help us orient ourselves within our personal and ancestral histories, on public life after the Nobel Prize, the effects of TV on what used to be "the living room," and critical thinking as the essence of democracy. A long-time teacher at the University of Chicago, he remarks, "I don't know what I would do without my students, for I'm able to talk with them...about things that matter...matter deeply to me."

Martin Amis Christopher Hitchens a conversation about Antisemitism and Saul bellow Part 1
Martin Amis in conversation with Christopher Hitchens Martin Amis talks to Christopher Hitchens about Saul Bellow with whom he developed an intimate friendship, about the role of the writer as intellectual, the threat of political correctness to the comic novel, Islam, Israel and horrorism. Martin Amis is considered as one of the most influential and innovative voices in contemporary British fiction. He is the author of novels, short stories and essays. His most recent book is House of Meetings. Christopher Hitchens left the UK for the US in 1981 where he is columnist and contributing editor at Vanity Fair. Both an atheist and anti-atheist, an iconoclast, anti-fascist and humanist, he was voted in 2005 fifth out of the worlds top one hundred public intellectuals.

Saul Bellow, 1976 Nobel Laureate in Literature (A Meditation)
Saul Bellow (June 10, 1915 -- April 5, 2005) was a Canadian-born Jewish American writer. For his literary contributions, Bellow was awarded the Pulitzer Prize, the Nobel Prize for Literature, and the National Medal of Arts. He is the only writer to have won the National Book Award three times, and the only writer to have been nominated for it six times. In the words of the Swedish Nobel Committee, his writing exhibited "the mixture of rich picaresque novel and subtle analysis of our culture, of entertaining adventure, drastic and tragic episodes in quick succession interspersed with philosophic conversation, all developed by a commentator with a witty tongue and penetrating insight into the outer and inner complications that drive us to act, or prevent us from acting, and that can be called the dilemma of our age." His best-known works include The Adventures of Augie March, Henderson the Rain King, Herzog, Mr. Sammler's Planet, Seize the Day, Humboldt's Gift and Ravelstein. Widely regarded as one of the twentieth century's greatest authors, Bellow has had a "huge literary influence." Bellow said that of all his characters Eugene Henderson, of "Henderson the Rain King," was the one most like himself. Bellow grew up as an insolent slum kid, a "thick-necked" rowdy, and an immigrant from Quebec. As Christopher Hitchens describes it, Bellow's fiction and principal characters reflect his own yearning for transcendence, a battle "to overcome not just ghetto conditions but also ...

92Y Podcast: From the Poetry Center Archive: Saul Bellow
92Y Virtual Poetry Center: www.92y.org I can write a small book more easily than a letter—why is that? "As though I'd stumbled upon a lost Bellow masterpiece." So said Philip Roth after "hungrily" reading through the recently published Letters of Saul Bellow. Saul Bellow first appeared at the Poetry Center in November of 1956, reading from a novel-in-progress that would become Henderson the Rain King. Upon the book's publication, in 1959, Bellow wrote to his friend Ralph Ellison about its critical reception: The fighting about poor Henderson has been fierce and wild, and to make matters worse I'm not quite sure where I myself stand. For I'm not in possession of my head and don't know what parts of the book originate in gaiety and which in desperation. It's easy enough to see through the prejudices of the critics and to assess their vindictiveness against the new and the unexpected, but it's not as though the book occurred as a pure act of the imagination. . . . I'm inclined to set the whole of Henderson down to dizziness and begin to think of a new start. Bellow's second appearance at the Poetry Center didn't come until 1988. By then, he'd written Herzog and Mr. Sammler's Planet, won three National Book Awards and the Nobel Prize. Today's featured recording is an excerpt from that 1988 appearance, when he read from Humboldt's Gift. "The book of ballads published by Von Humboldt Fleisher in the Thirties was an immediate hit," writes Bellow in the novel's opening sentence ...

Colson Whitehead: How to Write and the Art of Writing
chicagohumanities.org - See more Chicago Humanities Festival events. A treat for readers and writers alike, Colson Whitehead, author of such fictional dazzlers as Sag Harbor (2009) and Apex Hides the Hurt (2006), reads from his parody how-to anthology, How to Write and the Art of Writing Writers Write About Writing. As Whitehead touches on everything from writers block to the perfect sentence, from Saul Bellow to TS Eliot, he proves that writing is a sport without rules. His collection of essays, alternately based on real people or written under pseudonym, is funny and provocative. Whitehead, a master performer, enhances his reading selections with animated storytelling.
