Research Activities

• My studies on Saul Bellow's fictional and non-fictional writings led me to rediscover the importance of the much neglected group of witers called the NewYork Intellectuals.Bellow started his career as a witer by publishing his first stories on the pages of their central forum, the Partisan Review, and mingled among its prominent witers and intellectuals until the early '60s. Making researches into many historical documents from the journals in which the New York Intellectuals publishied their contention, I've tried to shed light on the significant role they played in American cultural history.
