Wednesday, July 19, 2023 — Issue 723
BRATTLEBORO — The Brattleboro Words Project announced that a special July episode of the newly launched Brattleboro Words Trail Podcast features insights into author Saul Bellow and his connection to Vermont, including exclusive interviews with his biographer and editor, to honor the famed writer’s birthday and the love he had for Green Mountain summers.
Bellow lived and wrote for nearly the last third of his life near Brattleboro part-time and is buried in the town cemetery. Nobel Literature laureate, Pulitzer Prize winner, and the only writer to win three National Book Awards for fiction, Bellow helped launch the first Brattleboro Literary Festival in 2002 and generally enhanced the strong literary identity of southeastern Vermont.
