A Week in Literary HistoryJune 10th, 2002 American novelist Saul Bellow (The Adventures of Augie March, 1953) is born in 1915 in Lachine, Québec. In 1976 he will win the Nobel Prize for literature.
Winner of the Nobel and Pulitzer Prizes and the National Book Award, Bellow transcends the label “Jewish writer” in his monumental Augie March and wildly imaginative Henderson the Rain King. He is the great American novelist of the second half of the twentieth century, a national treasure whose vivid, generous prose, crammed with intellectual energy and virile audacity, will live long after he is gone.
