People stopped fretting about the death of the novel, and Bellow’s protagonists started being treated as what they always were, oddballs and cranks. But the critical reception of Bellow’s books in the first half of his career funded his reputation. It cashed out, ultimately, in the Nobel Prize. Nobels are awarded to writers who are judged to have universalized the marginal.

Despite howls of protest from both the political left and right, Congress had no choice but to agree to the severe right-centrist austerity measures.

ellauri471.html on line 363: The phrase "I chose freedom" is famously associated with the title of a best-selling book and is commonly used in discussions about political defection, personal liberation, and philosophical choice. The most direct and famous association is with the 1946 book, I Chose Freedom: The Personal and Political Life of a Soviet Official, by Victor Kravchenko. Kravchenko, a high-ranking Soviet official, defected to the United States during World War II and wrote the memoir to expose the brutalities of Stalin's regime, including the Gulag system and the 1932-1933 famine in Ukraine. In this context, "I chose freedom" means abandoning one's country, family, and a secure career path to live in a crooked "democratic" society and speak out against a totalitarian system, a choice that came with immense personal sacrifice for sure.
