User’s Reviews

Editorial Reviews: From Kirkus Reviews In 1989, both in paperback original, appeared Bellow’s hundred-page-or-so novella A Theft, followed a few months later by The Bellarosa Connection, which came in at about the same length. Add now “Something to Remember Me By,” a 35-page story that lends its admittedly poignant title to the present volume of the three tales under one cover. The new piece is the remembrance–back in Chicago of 1933–of a 17-year-old boy’s first encounter with a hooker, this wonderfully comic episode occurring against the somber backdrop of the lingering death of the boy’s mother by cancer. Though it may stretch credibility at a moment or two, the story brims over in the riches of Bellow’s observing eye and his pulse- perfect renderings of life’s textures in immigrant Chicago during a dreary Depression winter. Those are far luckiest who didn’t buy the earlier two separate volumes, since here are all three for less than the price of one. Including a preface by Bellow on the merits and virtues of writing short. — Copyright ©1991, Kirkus Associates, LP. All rights reserved.

⭐Good stories by the Nobel winner. My copy even came with his autograph- the real one; I checked it against his cursive. Couldn’t have been better as a purchase.

⭐a very special read

⭐Saul Bellow grew up in Chicago though born in Montreal. He emerged from Jewish culture and was one of the most intellectually and gifted authors in American literary history. The Penguin Classics Edition contains three good stories by Bellow. The Bellarosa collection is a humorous story of the attempts made by Harry Fonstein to thank Broadway producer Billy Rose for helping him to escape from Fascist Italy. The story is narrated by a man who has known the Fonsteins for many years. An interesting story about Jewish life at them midcentury in a New York milieu which no longer exists.A Theft is a story about Clara Velde a wealthy, beautiful and much married woman who loses a jewel given her by her longtime lover Teddy Regler.The story is told by Bellow with warmth and wisdom.Something to Remember Me By is a Great Depression era story set in Chicago. A young boy is enticed into a sexual encounter in a hotel room by a woman who steals his clothes. Saul Bellow is always worth reading. Enjjoy!
