«Seize the Day» is the short novel by Saul Bellow, published by Penguin Books in paperback (144 pages, in English).
In a single day, Tommy Wilhelm, a man in his forties, faces the wreckage of his life: separated from his wife and children, estranged from his father, failed as an actor and ruined. Traversing the New York of the fifties, he recalls his mistakes until he runs into a swindler with a philosophical air who confronts him with a truth.
The novel was originally published in 1956. This edition, from the Penguin Modern Classics series, includes an introduction by Cynthia Ozick.
For readers of classic twentieth-century American fiction and of intimate stories about personal and family crises.
Saul Bellow was a Canadian-American writer. For his literary work, Bellow was awarded the Pulitzer Prize, the 1976 Nobel Prize in Literature, and the National Medal of Arts. He is the only writer to win the National Book Award for Fiction three times, and he received the National Book Foundation's lifetime Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters in 1990.
