    I will add them to the list. It's a lengthy list, but hopefully all in due time (the constant battle with time). And that is really awesome about the creative writing class. Good for you. I take it you write? I am 99.9% done with my debut book. Just ironing out some cover issues, and it should...

    Stumbled across this today, "David Peltz, who remained Bellow’s friend all his life, exposed Bellow to the underside of Chicago life. As a teenager Peltz somehow found himself in a poker game with the novelist Nelson Algren, the journalist Studs Terkel, and the future film director William...

    The Collected Stories look tempting. Have added them to my list. Would this be your recommendation? It seems to collect: The Little Disturbances of Man (1959) Enormous Changes at the Last Minute (1974) Later the Same Day (1985). Philip Roth seemed to like her. A bonus. The only other collection...

    If you like short stories, I would recommend Borges, Cortázar, Nabokov and Bolaño. Just to name a few.

    He seems both underrated and obscure. I have a few of his books saved to my To Purchase List.

    I own all of Saul Bellow. With a saved PDF somewhere of the things I'd like to get from his Archives, which would cost a decent penny. We are talking unpublished stories, plays, an unfinished book on Chicago. You would probably love this, even incomplete as it stands. Have not read all of him...

    She appeared on my radar because of the Bruno Schulz connection. The Messiah of Stockholm. I have seen her writing introductions or reviews to several writers I enjoy. Philip Roth being one. Saul Bellow is a fantastic writer. Mostly forgotten by time, do not see many people bring him up. And...

    Might as well create a page, since I cannot find him here. He is rather obscure, mind you. Seems like he has a new book coming out...

    International Booker Prize

    It happens. Sometimes something over-hyped actually deserves the media attention and accolades. But my initial gut reaction is to stay away. It takes a bit of coaxing to get me to the table to give some of these books a chance. And these awards... sometimes the runner-up is so much better than...

    " Movies based on books tend to boost sales of their source material as well, the report found. In one case study, the film adaptation of Daphne Du Maurier's My Cousin Rachel drove sales of the thriller so high that in 2017 alone, the book sold 23% of all sales since 1992 both in value and in...
