About Book
Bellow was America's writer, and in this superb collection of nonfiction essays he demonstrated his vigilance of and loyalty to his country over a span of 45 years. From his earliest piece, a war report from Spain written for the "Partisan Review" (1948), to his Novel Prize lecture (1976), to a Forbes article entitled "There Is Simply Too Much To Think About," Bellow was consumed by the idea of America - so great, so accomplished, so magical -destroying its soul.
