- W2484788075 abstract "The Bellovian hero: Bored, blind, and dying of heartbreak, his foot in his mouth, his heart and runny nose on his sleeve, and his tobacco-stained fingers clasped around his own neck. He is bound in red tape (usually divorce settlements with aggrieved ex-wives), manipulated by shysters, gangsters, and tricksters, blighted by personal failures, and weighted down by thousands of years of intellectual history. Each of Bellow’s protagonists is mired in the congestion of the city, of modern life, of inherited ways of thinking, but also motivated by an intuitive suspicion of a spiritual reality, the belief that there is knowledge available beyond that condoned by the accepted scientific worldview. ‘The soul wanted what it wanted,’ states Artur Sammler in Mr. Sammler’s Planet (1970). ‘It had its own natural knowledge. It sat unhappily on superstructures of explanation, poor bird, not knowing which way to fly’ (1). Despite, or because of, this confusion, Bellow’s heroes long to take flight in search of truth. Bellow’s flapping birds stand at odds with T.S. Eliot’s thrush who declared that humans cannot stand too much reality; the lion-like Henderson retorts, ‘How much unreality can it stand?’ (Henderson 318). Bellow’s reality-seekers are tired of the false world they have been taught to see: Mr. Sammler becomes fascinated by the prospect of flight, longing new planets and new worlds;" @default.
