Saul Bellow RIP

By: Jane Hamsher Wednesday April 6, 2005 12:14 am

Deserves more ink than anyone else who died this month. But I’m on a plane to go do my job in a couple of hours so someone else will have to do it.

Time for all the nerdy fellow English majors out there to let the NCLB-ers know that Sieze the Day wasn’t just a phrase from some bad 80’s Ethan Hawke movie. And he thought Tom Wolfe was a crap novelist. Oh and Jack Nicholson always said the role he really wanted to play was Henderson in Henderson the Rain King.

Keeping the stiffle on our Lit geek is like putting a lid on a boiling roil, but Bellows is a great loss and just when we were still smarting the passing of Susan Sontag.
Bellow was Chicago’s steel, bricks, and stockyards to Tennessee William’s stiffled passion, lacy fans and rotting magnolias.

Ahhh a passing worthy of note indeed. The self-proclaimed serial husband will pen no more. The loss is truly ours.
