About Seize the Day “What makes all of this so remarkable is not merely Bellow’s eye and ear for vital detail. Nor is it his talent for exposing the innards of character in a paragraph, a sentence, a phrase. It is Bellow’s vision, his uncanny ability to seize the moment and to see beyond it.” – Chicago Sun-Times Fading charmer Tommy Wilhelm has reached his day of reckoning and is scared. In his forties, he still retains a boyish impetuousness that has brought him to the brink of chaos: He is separated from his wife and children, at odds with his vain, successful father, failed in his acting career (a Hollywood agent once cast him as the “type that loses the girl”), and in a financial mess.

In Search of Light November 18, 1956 In Search of Light By ALFRED KAZIN SEIZE THE DAY By Saul Bellow he principal item in Mr. Bellow's new book is the long title story, virtually a novel in miniature, to which have been added three short stories and a one-act play.
Although the different things in the book are by no means on the same level, the title story seems to me the most moving single piece of fiction that this young author has as yet written. It is all the more interesting because there is a plainness of feeling in it that contrasts sharply with the keyed-up virtuosity and the defiant humor of his long novel, 'The Adventures of Augie March.' In all of Mr. Bellow's fiction to date one has been aware of an unusual mind that has wryly put itself to situations for irony, burlesque, the macabre. In 'Seize the Day' Mr. Bellow's very subject is the transparency of human weakness. It is the kind of weakness that is hard to conceal or to acknowledge.
But if it is looked at as closely and compassionately as Mr. Bellow has done, it becomes a profoundly true image of human existence as it is lived through that single day, the human locus of time, which we try to make the most of as it dies on our hands. Bellow describes Tommy Wilhelm (born Adler), a 42-odd-year-old salesman who, despite a wife and two children, has not learned to think of himself as a grown and independent being. Separated from his wife, jobless because of his own impulsiveness, bedeviled by money worries, resentful of his father for withholding both cash and emotional protection, he has tied himself to a quack psychologist whom he profoundly distrusts -- all the more because he cannot shake himself loose of the man's preposterous but haunting counsels. Tommy finds himself prowling through a New York day searching for a place of support or rest. By the end of it, he has tossed away the last of his money on the market and is desperately frightened.
Yet he gains an unexpected release when he is swept by the passing crowd into the funeral of a man he has never known -- and, looking down at the dead man's face, at last finds himself able to feel, to accept his own suffering. Thus, at last, he is able to confront that larger suffering which (as we can see only at the end of the story) has been the dead weight of existence pressing on him without any release or passion in him of understanding.
It is the intense world of the ordinary, the mean daily detail, the outrage of being alive, the existential sense of one's self as human creature, which is bravely at the center of Mr. Bellow's fiction.
Each detail is cruel, plain, irremediable, yet one feels that it is about to burst forth into the radiance of consciousness. In the next-best story in the book, 'A Father To Be,' the hero, burdened by money worries, saddened by the careworn faces in the subway, reflects that 'to think of money was to think as the world wanted you to think; then you'd never be your own master,' and opposes to this world of necessity, which Mr. Bellow renders with so much honesty, the world of consciousness. 'He went on to reflect how little people know about his, how they slept through life, how small a light the light of consciousness was.'
It is the special distinction of Mr. Tecnotest Reflex Keygen Mac. Bellow as a novelist that he is able to give us, step by step, the world we really live each day -- and in the same movement to show us that the real suffering of not understanding, the deprivation of light. It is this double gift that explains the unusual contribution he is making to our fiction. Kazin is the author of 'On Native Grounds' and other works of literary criticism. .
