Summary
Saul Bellow's first published novel portrays the thoughts and discomforts of Joseph, a young man in Chicago who quits his job in expectation of being drafted into the army during World War II. A series of bureaucratic snafus holds up his induction, however, and he finds himself with nothing to do for nearly a year. DANGLING MAN, the journal of Joseph's fresh and empty days, is full of insights into nearly every aspect of his world as he waits for the day when it all will end. DANGLING MAN appeared in 1944, when Bellow was still in his 20s.
