Saul Bellow, who won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1976, returned to
his suburban Montreal birthplace for a ceremony renaming the local library in
his honor. "My recollections of Lachine, which date back to the First World
War, are vigorous and come to me in bright colors," Bellow told several
hundred people who gathered Sunday on the library grounds. Bellow was born in
Lachine, a village beside the St. Lawrence River, in 1915. Sunday was also his
69th birthday. His family moved from Lachine to Montreal when he was 3, but
Bellow said he often returned to visit relatives. His family moved to Chicago
when he was 9.
