Marianne M. Friedrich explores in new depth the ways in which character and narration give form to one another in Saul Bellow's short fiction, showing how Bellow's interweaving of the two incisively registers major features of the modern human world. This book is a landmark in its detailed and sensitive interpretations. (Walter J. Ong, Saint Louis University) Marianne M. Friedrich offers readers the first comprehensive and detailed study of Saul Bellow's short fiction. Bellow readers are truly in her debt. (Ben Siegel, California State Polytechnic University at Pomona) ...a readable, scholarly approach that could serve as a model for some authors. She oFriedrich! does not attempt too much, she has excellent control of her material, and we close the book with a deeper understanding of Bellow. (Harry James Cargas, Shofar) Friedrich's excellent book...is both a valuable academic analysis as well as an enjoyable interpretation for general readers of the works of America's most gifted living Jewish author. (Robert A. Cohn, Jewish Light)
