Saul Bellow was born Solomon Bellows in Lachine, Quebec, Canada,

two years after his parents emigrated from Saint Petersburg, Russia.

When Bellow was nine,
his family moved to the
Humboldt Park
neighborhood of Chicago

Themes and style
The author's works speak to the disorienting nature of

modern civilization, and the countervailing ability of humans to overcome their frailty and achieve greatness (or at least awareness).
Principal characters in Bellow's fiction have heroic potential, and many times they stand in contrast to the negative forces of society.
Jewish life and identity is a major theme in Bellow's work, although he bristled at being called a "Jewish writer."
Bellow's work also shows a great appreciation of America, and a fascination with the uniqueness and vibrancy of the American experience.
