    There is very little known exactly about Saul Bellow’s personal information. It is known that Saul Bellow was born Solomon Bellows in Lachine, Quebec on 10th of June, in 1915.

    It is well known to the literary world that Saul Bellow often turns down interviewers and does not talk much in front of reporters and interviewers.

Since he was born in a highly religious family, Saul Bellow began reading the Old Testament from his childhood and he grew up learning Hebrew and Yiddish languages. Saul Bellows mother was a very devoted mother and she wanted that her children should become Talmudic scholars.

    It is noted that Saul Bellow’s father was involved in illicit trade of bootlegging. He was an importer of banned products.
