third floor which is a studio and
cubicles. (Marilyn did not explain
the cubicles.)
Mailer felt he needed more
room and so the building owners
applied for a permit to add a
dormer and a bathroom to the sec-
ond floor. Both of the occupants of
the house are writers, the zoning
application noted, "and they will
have this additional space for
writing." They will also have an
additional septic tank. '
Ms. Harmon, a well-known
painter, apparently did not object
to the additional Mailer prose
that the added space would permit
but she feared that addition of the
dormer to the house next door
would block the light reaching her
studio. Members of the zoning
board inspected the properties
and agreed that Mailer's extended
shadow wouldn't deprive Ms.
Harmon of sunlight.

If you have any ambition to be a
biographer, don't chose novelist
Saul Bellow as your subject. That
is advice from the man who says
his ambition was to write a "vast,
comprehensive, definitive, schol-
arly and most affectionate Life of
Saul Bellow but who had to settle
for a book that became "a series of

The equipment problem is worsening as equipment be-

scenes and encounters, catching
him when and where I could."
The trouble, says Mark Harris,
author of Saul Bellow: Drumlin
Woodchuck, is with Bellow. He
doesn't consider himself ready for
such a study.
"I'm not finished," he quotes Be-
llow as protesting, "not done, not
fini, I'm still groping."
Bellow often spoke with a touch
of impatience, Harris reported in
the New York Times Book Review
recently, while "refusing to sit for
the statesman's portrait. He
didn't care to be a statue in the
park. I had been specially im-
pressed to hear that a university
eager to award him an honorary
award had sent him six telegrams
without ever receiving a word of
response."
Because of his book on Bellow,
Harris finds himself frequently
deluged under inquiries about
specific minor details of Bellow's
life or pleas for his intervention
with the author.
He quoted Bellow after he had
read a portion of the Harris book
as concluding, however, that
"biography is a specter viewed by
a specter."
Based on his experience after
publication of the book on Bellow,
Harris reports that "I gain the
sense that few people read a book
whole."
