The Path to TruthSaul Bellow is known as one of the most influential and important writers of the post-World War II era and has won numerous awards for his work , including the Pulitzer Prize, a Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Nobel Prize in Literature. One of Bellow's famous short stories, "A Future Father", follows a single day in the life of a young scientist, Rogin, who begins to feel the pressure of his fiancée, Joan, and the stress of marriage and perhaps be paternity. “The Gonzaga Scrolls” is another short story by Bellows that is reviewed by many critics. The story traces the expedition of an American scholar, Charles Feiler, in search of the works of a Spanish poet, Gonzaga. Finding the poems would be an act of deliverance in Feiler's mind and he believes that bringing this small part of Gonzaga to the world would be an act of hope that the world needs. A final example from Bellow's short stories is "Searching for Mr. Green". . The story describes relief check delivery boy George Grebe's first day on the job and his struggle to find his first recipient in a Chicago ghetto. In Saul Bellow's critically acclaimed short story Seize the Day, which includes three short stories, Bellow explores the central theme of the protagonist's struggle with life's unpredictable conflicts and the search for transcendence and truth. “A Father-to-be” is a think piece in which Bellow writes about the stress many Americans felt on the eve of marriage, particularly during the Depression. The main character is Rogin, a 31-year-old chemist, who goes to his fiancée's apartment for dinner. He was an average American who felt the same pressure that most Americans felt at that time, due to inflation and high taxes. Alo...... middle of paper ...... dies in Short Fiction Fall 1974: 387-93.
