BOSTON -- Boston University will feature a course taught by Saul Bellow
next fall, but the Nobel Prize-winning author says his own works will not be
included in the syllabus for the class on 20th-century fiction.
Bellow, who currently teaches at the University of Chicago, has accepted
the visiting post offered through the University Professor's Program, said
spokeswoman Susan Tomassetti
In addition to the modern fiction course, Bellow will give at least one
public lecture, Arthur G. B. Metcalf, chairman of the university's board of
trustees said in a letter announcing the appointment to students and parents.
The student newspaper, Daily Free Press, reported that Bellow does not
plan to assign his works as required reading for the 15 students who secure
spots in his seminar-style course, "An Idiosyncratic Survey of 19th and 20th
Century Fiction."
The 73-year-old author's writings have won him the 1976 Nobel Prize for
Literature, the Pulitzer Prize and three National Book Awards.
Bellow was among 12 artists honored in August with a National Medal of
Arts.
