Klappentext zu „Character and Narration in the Short Fiction of Saul Bellow “
This first comprehensive study of Saul Bellow's short fiction examines a diversity of Bellow's realistic characters ranging from the singularity of simple women to the complexity of his talking intellectuals. These individual, in depth interpretations, with their constant focus on the intricate correlation of character and narration, reveal Bellow's changing short story strategies to achieve different levels of meaning beyond the realistic bases of the narratives. Against the modernist background of Picasso's creative destruction of reality, Bellow insists on mimesis in his fictional assessment of his art. Mimesis becomes modified in Bellow's latest short fictions indicating an incisive shift towards parable, romance, fairytale, and myth.

Pressezitat
"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 øFriedrich! 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)
