The Actual

A first edition hardcover in fine condition. The pages are clean, crisp, and unmarked. The boards are unmarked. The dust cover is unmarked, black boards, and white lettering on the spine of the book. The Actual is a novella by Saul Bellow, published in 1997. As one of his later works, it reflects his signature exploration of human relationships, personal identity, and the nature of love. Though shorter than his earlier novels, The Actual retains the intellectual depth and vibrant prose that define Bellow’s writing. In 1976, Saul Bellow won both the Pulitzer Prize and the Nobel Prize in Literature, a rare and remarkable achievement.
