BELLOW, SAUL

Him with His Foot in His Mouth and Other Stories

New York, Harper & Row. 1984. (ISBN: 9780060151799). Hardcover. Book, Family fiction and the fiction-of-ideas are two competing concerns in Bellow's work. Those seemingly contradictory roles-- the darkly comic memoirist, and the thorny essayist-- are on display, occasionally even blending in a richly charming way. One story, "A Silver Dish," is the memoirist/ family side of Bellow, virtually undiluted: a 60-year-old South Chicago businessman reacts exuberantly to the death of his old father-- in a memory-montage that showcases Bellow's boisterous, visceral, ironic warmth. But, in other pieces, chunks of zesty family/friend reminiscence and personal psychology are shaded with cultural musings or implications. "Zetland: By a Character Witness" recalls the early life of a Chicago intellectual/bohemian, rebelling against his old-fashioned Jewish family; the subtext is a gently mordant view of all intellectual idealism. In "Cousins," the narrator is a law-expert/celebrity who uses his influence to get a light sentence for his gangster-cousin Tanky; here, the inability to "extricate myself from the ties of Jewish cousinhood" leads to memories of other cousins, to anthropological puzzles, to the conflict between the "brainy" and the gutsy. And most effective of all in the weaving of earthy tale-spinning with meditation is the title story: narrator Harry, a 65-ish musicologist, who's hiding out from big legal troubles in Vancouver, is writing an apology to the long-ago victim of one of his many cruel wisecracks; he recounts the Balzac-like money/family mistakes which got him into his present mess; and, without strain or contrivance, this confession/self-analysis winds through such oddly relevant matters as Allen Ginsberg, the breeding of pit bulldogs, music vs. materialism, and Jewish assimilationism. The longest piece, "What Kind of Day Did You Have?", an affair between a youngish divorcee and a famous old art critic becomes a frame for wrestlings with Marxism, celebrity, and intellectual hucksterism. But much of this welcome gathering presents the restless Bellow voice in full cry--taut, colorful, Talmudic, and large-hearted. Very Good/Very Good. Signed Saul Bellow.

O'HARA, JOHN

The Farmers Hotel Signed 1st Edition

New York, Random House. 1951. Hardcover. Book, In The Farmers Hotel, a handful of strangers are stranded in rural Pennsylvania. A sudden snowfall traps the group in the titular hotel - ironically, the first day that the hotel is officially 'open'. The owner and his tiny staff (including his 'Magical Negro' bartender) play host to a group of misfits from all walks of society: two upper-class lovers are returning from a cheeky weekend of adultery, a sleazy showman and his two stripping "twin" performers and, last of all, a brash truck driver with a chip on his shoulder. The book is driven by O'Hara's dialog used to portray strangers as they awkwardly feel one another out. Very Good. Signed By John O'Hara.
