1. Re-reading Bellow in bulk, was taken aback by how little of it held up. Honestly wasn't expecting that. But maybe true of most novelists

3. Maybe that Library of America approach of collecting all the novels & novellas was a mistake. It really highlights Bellow's vulnerability

@HeerJeet do you have an opinion on what holds up the best? I haven't read any Bellow and was going to start Augie March soon. Worth it? - Show replies

@HeerJeet What else is there besides Seize the Day and Herzog? Serious question. -
@amlamey If Augie March were cut to half its length it would be a good novel. Henderson has its moments. - Show replies

@HeerJeet I listened to Augie March driving up and down the West Coast, and while it has merit, it's at least twice as long as needed. - End of conversation

@HeerJeet I honestly think you've got Herzog and Augie March (that one with a sense of admiration that overpowers some critical flaws)Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@HeerJeet That's enough...depending on the novels. -
@wesinjapan Sure, with Herzog alone Bellow earned literary immortality. - Show replies
