This is my other fave Bellow read: his (only?) play, "The Last Analysis"--description of production of this comedy, even w/o Zero Mostel, certainly goes with promise of script: https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/books/00/04/23/specials/bellow-playanalysis.html

Anna and the King of Siam is a lot later than i would have assumed though i guess its probably currently best known as the source of the musical had assumed it was a memoir from about 20 years earlier. but obviously not read it.I think I have a copy of the Family Von Trapp still unread after a decade possibly 2 too.

Or maybe it's a novelisation of an 1870 memoir . possibly.

There’s a funny or O_o story about Forever Amber. Artie Shaw saw Ava Gardner reading it, gave her grief for reading such trash and then not long afterwards was married to its author.
