A collection of treasured stories by the unchallenged master of American fiction
A Penguin Classic
Nobel Prize winner Saul Bellow has deservedly been celebrated as one of Americaâs greatest writers. For more than sixty years he stretched our minds, our imaginations, and our hearts with his exhilarating perceptions of life. Here, collected in one volume and chosen by the author himself, are favorites such as âWhat Kind of Day Did You Have?â, âLeaving the Yellow House,â and a previously uncollected piece, âBy the St. Lawrence.â With his larger-than-life characters, irony, wisdom, and unique humor, Bellow presents a sharp, rich, and funny world that is infinitely surprising. With a preface by Janice Bellow and an introduction by James Wood, this is a collection to treasure for longtime Saul Bellow fans and an excellent introduction for new readers.
