About this copy
Saul Bellow, winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature and one of the great American novelists of the twentieth century, gathers together his finest short fiction in this handsome volume. From the wry, probing sketches of Chicago life to the sharply observed tales of ambition, love and the search for meaning, these stories show Bellow at his most humane and witty. The collection includes the celebrated title story 'Him with His Foot in His Mouth', along with 'A Silver Dish', 'Zetland' and 'Cousins'.
This copy is a first printing of the Viking edition, published in 2001 and bearing the first-printing line on the copyright page. A sturdy hardback in dark grey cloth, with the title and author gilt-lettered to the spine, it is a fine volume for any reader's shelf.
Condition
- Book
- Very Good. The binding is tight, the boards are clean and bright, and the pages are clean and unmarked. There is light surface scuffing to the front board and minor rubbing to the cloth at the spine ends and corners, consistent with age and handling.
- Dust jacket
- None.
A pre-owned book; any wear beyond that described is minor and in keeping with its age.
Collector's notes

- Published by Viking, 2001 (first published in the United States and Great Britain in the same year).
