Bellow, Saul (1915-2005) Dangling Man.
New York: The Vanguard Press, 1944.

Bellow's first published work was written while he was serving as a merchant marine during World War II. The diary-form narrative centers on Joseph, an unemployed young man whose deployment to the front is constantly delayed. As the battle rages without him, the idle Joseph descends deeper into psychological frustration and uneasiness.
