Something to Remember Me By

**A trio of short works by the Nobel laureate and "greatest writer of American prose of the twentieth century" (James Wood, *The New Republic*)**

While Saul Bellow is known best for his longer fiction in award-winning novels such as *The Adventures of Augie March* and *Herzog*, *Something to Remember Me By* will draw new readers to Bellow as it showcases his extraordinary gift for creating memorable characters within a smaller canvas.

The loss of a ring in *A Theft* helps an oft-married woman understand her own wisdom and capacity for love. In *The Bellarosa Connection*, Harry Fonstein has escaped from Nazi brutality with the help of an underground organization masterminded by the legendary Broadway impresario Billy Rose, and his story continues in America . In the title story, seventeen-year-old Louie—whose mother is dying of cancer—strays far from home and finds not solace but humiliation and, ultimately, the blessing of his father's wrath.
