| Description
| - With the exception of Ravelstein, the Bellow novels under study have the confrontation of crime committed by African Americans (thieves and murderers) as the salient theme and the main protagonists are deeply engaged with psychological or social insights while confronting the criminals. In the novel Mr. Sammler's Planet (1970), the narrator, a Holocaust survivor and intellectual, regards the decline of urban America and the rise of crime rates as the indelible outcome of the 1960s counterculture and %22Black Power%22 movements. In The Dean's December (1982), Bellow fictionalizes a real murder of a University of Chicago student while, as an aside, showing the desperate black public schools on the West Side of Chicago as well as the horrible conditions in the Cook County Prison system, though no suggestion about improving either institution is offered. In contrast to these novels depicting black criminals, Ravelstein (2000) focuses on a Jewish homosexual professor dying of AIDS who is, in the original manuscript, the perpetrator of pedophilia, and his teenage victim is an African American. This character is a fictionalized account of the University of Chicago Classics Professor Allan Bloom (1930-1992), Bellow's colleague and close personal friend. In all three novels the crimes involve one or more African Americans in an urban setting, either New York or Chicago. In these novels, Bellow's poignant fictional representations of criminals will be considered in light of Michel Foucault's notions of the criminal in history in Discipline and Punish, as well as some of his other works.
