0あらすじ・要約 - A Theft
A Theft (1989) is a novella by the 1976 Nobel Laureate Saul Bellow. It focuses on a fashion writer whose stability and assumptions about life are shattered when a ring is stolen, prompting a reassessment of her faith in the power of love.
Bellow originally wanted to publish the book as a story or serial in a magazine such as The New Yorker, but his agent had trouble selling it to any magazine. As a result, it was published it as a book.
The book was his first to be published in paperback form, which was something highly unusual for a book written by an erudite and respected author. Bellow himself said on the television show Good Morning America that the book had the quality of a hardcover book, but lacked the requisite number of pages and, hence, was published as a trade paperback.
