[Marxism] Saul Bellow

["Charles Brown" <cbrown@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Louis Proyect

Like any other reactionary author, Bellow's work has to be judged solely on
literary merit.

((((((((

CB: This issue is always a bit of a mystery to me.  I can't understand how
the important questions that fiction raises can be separated completely from
political questions. In this example, how could Bellow be wise about
evaluating personality while retaining a reactionary ideology ? How is it
that his incites into characters don't prevent him from being a racist ?
It's quite a paradox. The personal is political.

I realize Lenin praised Tolstoy, etc.
