	Saul Bellow, novelist who charted ironies of modern soul, dies at 89 - The Boston Globe

Along with Bernard Malamud and Norman Mailer, Saul Bellow was soon to form the triumvirate of Jewish-American postwar fiction.
		Bellow was revered for his self-reflective irony and his side-angle anguish, the schlemiels and existential heroes he created before the archetype even existed.
		Bellow spoke that evening in private conversation with an off-the-cuff graciousness; for all his irascibility, he could be both eloquent and kind.
