1982. Bellow submits a full paragraph in praise of the journalist Sydney Harris, who has "sometimes reminded me of Lewis Carroll's forty maids with forty mops trying to clean everything up. Good writers are like that, wielding their mops against fatality with their last strength." Signed, "Saul Bellow." Bellow's full paragraph appeared on the jacket of Harris' collection Pieces of Eight. Bellow won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1976 and his endorsement of others' writings was highly valued as a result. Folded for mailing; near fine. [#036670] SOLD
