Short but well formed - By: Mr. S. Miller, 16 May 2007
For alll the power of his novels it is worth remembering that it was a novella ("Seize the Day") that opened the door to Saul Bellow's Nobel prize.

Therefore, it should not come as a surprise to learn that his collection of short stories is a rich trove in which some memorable fictional creations engage in scrapes with real life, providing much scope for Bellow's black humour & pithy observation.

Some leave a little to be desired but that's largely because of the standard set by the majority amongst which stand out: "Him with his Foot in his Mouth" & "A Silver Dish"
