Salman Rushdie on Bellow's books | The Adventures of Saul Bellow | American Masters | PBS

[@vasari9198]

Saul Bellow has recently become my favourite writer. Funny and deep and an interesting style.

[@kreek22]

Mostly great, but the center does not hold: his narrators and main characters are weak representations.

[@sillysod33]

Salman Rushdie could write a shopping list and it would still be incredible.

The old saying is a classic is something everyone wants to have read but no one wants to read. That's sad because some of them are sublime and immensely enjoyable! Classics are considered classic for a reason.

First I read Bellow in the 80t-ies and now it's time I like to revisit this adventure, so I am reading the Victim but not in English which is a fun bit

[@ramdularsingh1435]

If you want to enjoy humour really read Salman Rushdie. He makes you feel happy and joyed...,...

[@Ami-pw1wt]

I haven’t read either but now I will. Lucky me. 🥰

[@blackbird5634]

I tried to read Humbolt's Gift and Augie Marsh but couldn't last more than a few pages. Bellow doesn't speak to me as other writers have. Hemingway took me immediately out of my chair into his world.

[@LezleyChapot]

Ravelstein.

[@gwae48]

Ofcourse he "became interested", couldn't write a Shopping List himself. Not even close, Rushdie. Sacrilege you even mentioning Bellow. You're not anywhere near his League.

Midnight's Children is great

[@twinsouls1473]

Salman Rushdi is being paid for his mocking and reduculing ISLAM as a religion , and thats so sad.

[@sillysod33]

It’s brilliant. Islam takes itself far too effing seriously. And violently.

[@kreek22]

@@sillysod33 That's what a real religion looks like: serious and violent. This includes political religions like communism.

[@siddheshpatwardhan4920]

Islam was created to be mocked.
