Saul Bellow has recently become my favourite writer. Funny and deep and an interesting style.
Mostly great, but the center does not hold: his narrators and main characters are weak representations.
The old saying is a classic is something everyone wants to have read but no one wants to read. That's sad because some of them are sublime and immensely enjoyable! Classics are considered classic for a reason.
Salman Rushdie could write a shopping list and it would still be incredible.
First I read Bellow in the 80t-ies and now it's time I like to revisit this adventure, so I am reading the Victim but not in English which is a fun bit
If you want to enjoy humour really read Salman Rushdie. He makes you feel happy and joyed...,...
I tried to read Humbolt's Gift and Augie Marsh but couldn't last more than a few pages. Bellow doesn't speak to me as other writers have.
Hemingway took me immediately out of my chair into his world.
I haven’t read either but now I will. Lucky me. 🥰
Ravelstein.
Ofcourse he "became interested", couldn't write a Shopping List himself. Not even close, Rushdie. Sacrilege you even mentioning Bellow. You're not anywhere near his League.
Midnight's Children is great
Salman Rushdi is being paid for his mocking and reduculing ISLAM as a religion , and thats so sad.
It’s brilliant. Islam takes itself far too effing seriously.
And violently.
@@sillysod33 That's what a real religion looks like: serious and violent. This includes political religions like communism.
Islam was created to be mocked.
