Collected Bellow
Does one wait for the paperback? I�m not keen on monumental hardbacks; if I didn�t have books, moving flats would not have been such a recurrent nightmare, and big books make it worse. Saul Bellow�s stories have been collected in what looks like a big hardback. Martin Amis can be heard talking about his default father’s new book on the BBC�s Nightwaves programme. Click on the streaming audio for that. Better still, read James Wood�s sublime essay that looks like it’s been reprinted as the Collected Stories introduction. Bellow makes the latest �Great American Novelist� look like the soap writer he is.
