[Marxism] Saul Bellow

But this sounds like the _content_ of what they write is _not_ reactionary.
Perhaps it is the opposite of what you say. They are so into their society
,that they more accurately paint a picture of it.

Jim Farmelant :

        And Marx praised Balzac, who was a Catholic and
        a royalist, and Marx thought very highly of Goethe
        who was a conservative.  Sometimes reactionaries
        like Balzac, or to take a more recent author, Evelyn Waugh,
      have deeper insights into their societies than authors
        who are more politically progressive, perhaps
        because their reactionary ideology helps to
        give them the distance necessary to assess
        the world around them in a clear-eyed, realistic
        manner.
