There’s a Limit to Thinking It Over, Even If Grace Isn’t Immediate

This week’s New Yorker also includes a selection of Saul Bellow’s letters, highlights from his correspondence about the nature of the novel over the course of 62 years. The text of these is accessible online only to subscribers, but here’s a taste:

“Everyone is writing Ulysses all day long, within himself, and when we speak we speak sentences out of an inward context–only the tip of the iceberg appearing above the surface.”
Letters: Saul Bellow will be published this Fall.
