"...Bellow's typical shorter fiction is indistinguishable, in every regard but length, from his novels. Unlike, say, F. Scott Fitzgerald or John Cheever, he never seems to have regarded the two forms as substantially different, requiring alternate frames and pacings....[The] deflection of incident into cerebration is the pervasive strategy in all of Bellow's fiction, short, long and in between: things happen, people think about them and the fun begins." "In the strongest of these stories, Mr. Bellow's gift for delineating the American scene...remains unrivaled....The more persuasive stories leave the reader with a wonderfully vivid sense of an individual's life...." Publisher's noteFilled with wisdom, wit, and insight, a groundbreaking collection of short works, selected by the author, traces his illustrious literary career and includes such celebrated stories as "Leaving the Yellow House", "What Kind of Day Did You Have?," and the novella The Bellarosa Connection. Reprint. AnnotationThis collection of Saul Bellow's stories, which also includes two novellas (A THEFT and THE BELLAROSA CONNECTION), establishes him as a fine writer of short fiction as well as of the novels for which he is more celebrated. The volume includes two introductions, one by his wife, Janis Freedman (who edited the collection), and one by the critic James Wood.
