Saul Bellow and the Marginalization of the Spirit

The public image of Saul Bellow is a testimony of the tendency to marginalize spiritual orientations and ideas, and the courage it takes to engage with them. Bellow is one of the most influential and celebrated writers in the English language from the last century, winning national books awards, the Nobel prize and a Pulitzer. This episode explores the dynamics connected with the silence around his lifelong engagement with spiritual and esoteric thoughts and practices.
