Saul
Bellow
was born Solomon Bellows in Lachine, Quebec, a suburb of Montreal.
His original birth certificate was lost when Lachine's city hall burned down
in the 1920s, but Bellow celebrated his birthday on June 10.
Bellow's parents had emigrated in 1913 from Russia to Canada. In St.
Petersburg Bellow's father, Abraham (Abram), had imported Turkish figs and
Egyptian onions. Raised in Chicago, he attended the University
of Chicago. He received his Bachelor's degree from Northwestern
University in 1937, with honors in sociology and anthropology, did graduate
work at the University of Wisconsin, and served in the Merchant Marine
during World War II.
