RESUMO

The research synthesizes the different language styles promoted by Saul Bellow, the American Jewish writer and winner of the Nobel Prize (1976) in his first novel, Dangling Man. The narrative is written in a daily record form, where Joseph, the hero, interprets his daily life in Chicago, while awaiting the outcome of the long bureaucratic process of his enrollment in the army. The historical moment of the II Word War appears as the back scenario, imprinting an atmosphere of suspense in Josephs reports. The research analyses the extensive gamut of American Literary criticism, from the very moment of the publication of the novel in 1944 until nowadays, trying to illuminate what has become a new literary perspective and vanguard trend. Finally, the exposition reflects on the different manifestation of Judaism throughout Bellows novel.
