Norman Mailer, Philip Roth, Bernard Malamud and Saul Bellow. They were some of the finest writers of the 20th Century. We had the great pleasure of discussing their place in literary history and the evolution of the American novel. Milt is joined in studio by Zachary Leader, professor of English Literature at University of Roehampton in London, who has just penned volume one of an astounding biography of Bellow called The Life of Saul Bellow: To Fame and Fortune, 1915-1964. Also in studio are two great and local writers, Brian Bouldrey who is Senior Lecturer of Creative Writing at Northwestern, and Don Evans, founder and executive director of the Chicago Literary Hall of Fame.
