Saul Bellow, a great writer.
jeffreydebra1 2 months ago
Hitch (being particularly repulsive here) imbues Bellow's banal prose with just the right pantomime-toff vocal magic (catnip for middlebrow Murkkans) to make it sound like Writing. Beyond that, not much to this excerpt but the neo-con paranoia and schwarze-hating that put Bellow on the top of the jingoistic heap of the Yankee literary game at the height of the Cold War. Only fan base more gullible and/or uglier belongs to that tin-eared huckster Ayn Rand. Yuck.

"Mr Sammler's Planet" is an exceptional book. The line "Who made shit a sacrament?" is among my favorite literary quotes.

@TheFallibleFiend Yeah it's one of my favourites along with "Herzog" and "The Dean's December" (that one is very underated).

I never said any such thing. However, if I realized that I was a Hitchens fanboy, I would try to change my ways.

Hitch is more talented and decent than Pat Robertson. Go suck a priest's dick, you Jesus freak prick!
