“I often feel these days that death is a derelict or what Americans nowadays call a street person who has moved into the house with me and whom I can find no way to get rid of. The only solution is to make him a member of the family.”

letter to Teddy Kollek, dated April 14, 1998, in Saul Bellow: Letters (New York: Viking, 2010), 542.
